AeroPlast AquaGuard Waterproof Large Patch 7.5cm x 5cm
When a standard strip is too small, the AquaGuard large patch covers grazes and cuts on knees, elbows, forearms and shins. The clear waterproof film seals right round a generous non-stick pad, so the wound stays dry in the shower and the patch is discreet on the skin. The film is flexible, so it moves with joints and resists edge lift.
Each patch is sterile and individually wrapped. A box of 25 suits workplace, school and sports kits, with lower prices from 12 and 24 boxes.
Features
- Large 7.5cm x 5cm size: covers grazes and cuts too big for a strip.
- Waterproof clear film: seals out water and blends in with the skin.
- SupaBond adhesive: holds on knees and elbows through movement.
- Soft cushioned non-stick pad: comfortable and gentle to remove.
- Latex-free and hypoallergenic: suits sensitive skin.
- Sterile, individually wrapped: clean and easy to count at kit checks.
How to use
- Clean the wound and dry the surrounding skin well. The adhesive only seals on clean, dry skin.
- Open the wrapper without touching the pad, and place the pad over the wound.
- Smooth the clear film down from the centre to the edges, without stretching it, so the edges seal all the way round.
- Change the dressing daily, or sooner if it lifts or water gets under the edge.
Seek medical advice for deep, dirty or serious wounds, and for burns. If redness or irritation develops, stop using the dressing. This product may not be right for you. Read the warnings before purchase. Always follow the directions for use.

FAQs
Are these bandaids waterproof? Yes. The clear film backing seals around the pad to keep water out during showering and hand washing, as long as it is applied to clean, dry skin and the edges are pressed down.
Are they latex-free? Yes. The dressings are latex-free and hypoallergenic.
How often should I change a waterproof bandaid? Change it every day, or sooner if the edges lift, water gets underneath or the pad becomes soiled.
Can I use a large waterproof patch on a graze? Yes. Clean and dry the graze first, then choose a patch large enough that the pad covers the whole wound and the film seals on dry skin all round.
