Hartmann Tiritas Plastic 6x10 10 Unidades

• Water and dirt resistance: physical barrier that protects the wound from moisture and contaminants.
• Breathability: plastic film with controlled permeability that promotes gas exchange and reduces maceration.
• Hypoallergenic adhesive: formulation that decreases the risk of skin reactions.
• Non-adherent pad: facilitates removal without damaging healing tissue.
• Continuous protection while the strip maintains integrity; replacement recommended every 24 hours.
• Suitable for use in the shower or occasional splashes, appropriate for home first aid kits and daily activities.

Are they waterproof and can they be used in the shower?

The plastic base provides resistance to water and splashes. They provide protection during showers or moderate exposure to moisture as long as the strip maintains adhesion; it is recommended to change it if it becomes excessively wet.

Do they protect against bacteria, viruses, or fungi?

They act as a physical barrier that reduces the entry of contaminants and exposure to external bacteria and particles. They are not an active antimicrobial treatment and do not inactivate viruses or eliminate microorganisms present in the wound.

How often should they be changed?

It is recommended to change at least once every 24 hours or sooner if the strip becomes dirty, wet, or loses adhesion.

Are they suitable for sensitive or allergic skin?

The adhesive is hypoallergenic, which reduces the likelihood of reactions. In cases of very sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions to dressings, prior assessment by healthcare personnel is suggested.

Can they be applied over ointments or creams?

The presence of creams or ointments may reduce the adhesion of the dressing. Unless medically indicated, it is preferable to apply to clean, dry skin.

Can they be cut to adjust size?

The plastic backing allows for manual trimming to adapt the shape, although the original design offers a centered pad that facilitates proper coverage. Cuts should be made with clean tools.

Do they have health certification?

They are designed according to the regulations applicable to dressings and low-complexity medical devices; they usually present compliance with European requirements (CE marking) and quality controls in manufacturing.

Are they reusable or refillable?

No. They are single-use dressings and should be discarded after use.

The wound and surrounding skin should be carefully cleaned with water and, if appropriate, neutral soap. Then, gently dry until a dry surface is achieved. Open the sterile pouch and remove the strip without touching the surface that will contact the wound. Place the pad centered over the wound, ensuring that the adhesive edges rest on healthy skin. Smooth the surface of the strip to avoid folds that compromise the seal. Keep the strip in place until it needs to be replaced; replace it at least once every 24 hours or sooner if it becomes wet or dirty. If in doubt about the severity of the injury, seek evaluation by a healthcare professional.

• Change the dressing at least every 24 hours or sooner if it becomes wet or dirty.
• Avoid applying to deep, cutting, or actively bleeding wounds; in those cases, seek medical assistance.
• Do not use on second or third-degree burns without professional assessment.
• Monitor for signs of infection: increasing redness, heat, intense pain, swelling, or discharge; if present, seek medical attention.
• Keep the area clean and dry before application to optimize adhesion.
• Avoid simultaneous use of ointments or creams on the area unless prescribed, as they reduce adhesion.
• Discard the dressing after use; not reusable or refillable.
• Store in a cool, dry place, protected from direct light and heat sources.
