Find out which plaster to use if you have a larger wound, such as a cut or abrasion, or a wound after minor surgery. Hansaplast offers a range of XXL plasters for lower and higher risks of infection as well as specific needs such as sensitive skin or protection from water.

Contrary to popular belief, scientific research has shown that leaving a wound to heal in dry air may actually prolong and irritate the healing process. Larger wounds are best protected with sterile wound dressings that cushion the wound. Covering a wound prevents contamination, reduces the risk of infection and ensures an undisturbed and optimal healing environment.

Hansaplast offers two different sizes of plasters for medium to large wounds:

  • XL which measures 6 x 7 cm
  • XXL which measures 8 x 10cm
