TOUGH PROTECTION FOR TOUGH PROJECTS – Like to get your hands dirty, but not your wounds? A new plaster combines toughness with waterproof properties and high-comfort. Extra strong protection in even the toughest of DIY situations.

So, finally James Bunton (36) was going to tackle that tree house in the garden for the boys. He had already gone and gotten the wooden planks. Now it was just him against time: He had two weekends to finish the project in time for the birthday of his eldest son.

One Saturday James Bunton got down to it: Assembling, hammering, drilling. It was fun. It started to rain. He didn’t even mind. But suddenly…one of the longer nails went into his left thumb and he was afraid he had to abort the whole mission. The wound bled and hurt like hell.

TOUGH JOBS - NEW NEAT PLASTER

 

James Bunton knew: Not only a well-equipped tool kit is essential to get a job done smoothly – the right plaster is, too. So he tried Hansaplast EXTRA ROBUST WATERPROOF. And yes, not only did it protect his wound and allow him to continue. It also still stuck at the end of the day. Even when he washed his dirty hands later on. He had gotten a lot done, and hadn’t even noticed he had been wearing a plaster. His son’s birthday surprise was saved, after all.

1. It is the first textile plaster that is waterproof

Garden work or washing the car? No problem. Thanks to its innovative and breathable Hi-DRY TEX material, EXTRA ROBUST WATERPROOF will let you get on with your work and chores even in contact with water, without the plaster coming or peeling off. And thanks to its Hi-DRY Tex technology (read more about it here) the plaster is equipped with a special membrane layer to make it waterproof and breathable at the same time.

2. This plaster really sticks!

Ever been annoyed by flimsy plasters that come off too easily? Nothing you want to worry about when working with your hands. That’s why the strong adhesion of Hansaplast EXTRA ROBUST WATERPROOF will leave the plaster in place, where you want it, as long as you need it. No matter if you are building a garden shed or washing your car – you can just keep on doing what you’re doing.

3. EXTRA ROBUST
WATERPROOF IS STURDY,
YET FLEXIBLE

EXTRA ROBUST WATERPROOF is made up of several protective layers: It consists of a comfortable wound pad, a membrane layer and an impregnated textile layer. These make the plaster breathable and waterproof at the same time. And what’s more: the extra resistant and heavy duty fabric will not only deliver extra strong protection for your wound, but will also stretch and feel comfortable.

Now you know what the plaster does.
Behind all this there is a new technology called Hi-DRY TEX.

Hansaplast developed this three-layer technology for improved wound protection and the demands of working in everyday and DIY situations. Hi-DRY TEX technology makes the plaster waterproof, breathable and ensures strong adhesion. Due to its integrated coverage of an impregnated, heavy duty fabric and a waterproof, yet breathable membrane. The flexible fabric ensures not only utmost comfort for you, but also protection from moisture and water for your wound.
