FAQ: Why do standard plasters fail on joints like knees and elbows?

Standard plasters use a relatively rigid backing that cracks and loses adhesion when repeatedly flexed over joints. Ultra-stretch dressings use highly elastic backing material that flexes with joint movement - maintaining adhesion and wound coverage through bending, squatting and other joint movement. For any wound over a mobile joint, a stretch dressing provides significantly more reliable coverage than a standard plaster.

FAQ: Are the Ultra Stretch pads waterproof?

Check the specific product label for waterproof claims. Ultra-stretch dressings may provide some moisture resistance but are not necessarily equivalent to dedicated waterproof dressings. For wounds on joints requiring waterproof coverage during showering, confirm the waterproof rating on the product label before relying on them for water protection.
