AeroPlast AquaGuard Waterproof Clear Strips 7.2cm x 1.9cm
AquaGuard strips are the clear, waterproof bandaid for cuts on hands and fingers that get wet: kitchens, food service, bathrooms and outdoor work. The transparent film backing seals right round a soft central pad, so water stays out while the strip blends in with the skin. SupaBond adhesive keeps it in place through hand washing and showers, and the non-stick pad lifts off without pulling at the wound.
Every strip is sterile and individually wrapped. The box of 100 suits workplace, school and home kits, with lower prices from 12 and 24 boxes for kit builders and first aid rooms. AquaGuard replaces the AeroPlast Transparent strip range.
Features
- Waterproof clear film: seals out water and is discreet on visible skin.
- SupaBond adhesive: strong hold through movement, showering and hand washing.
- Soft cushioned non-stick pad: comfortable on the wound and gentle to remove.
- Latex-free and hypoallergenic: suits sensitive skin and latex-free sites.
- Sterile, individually wrapped: a clean strip every time; easy to count at kit checks.
- Standard 7.2cm x 1.9cm size: fits fingers, hands and most small cuts.
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.
