Did you know why the plaster is cut before gluing to the wound?

I bought plasters so many times before, especially in summer, during the corn season, but never made incisions. I didn't even know it was better this way.

During unstable weather, ice is quite common. And falls happen quite often. So I managed to flop on one of these "happy" days of zero temperature. I was without gloves and my hands naturally went into action, trying to soften the blow. Nothing much happened except a wound on the palm and fingers. Fortunately, there was a pharmacy nearby and I went there to buy hydrogen peroxide and a patch.

This "lucky" incident happened back in December. But only now I thought that I could tell other readers about this method. The fact is that the pharmacist was so kind that she decided to help me and disinfect my wounds with peroxide, and help me put on the plaster.

When it came to the plaster, she went behind the counter for a pair of scissors. And when she returned, she began to cut the plaster and fasten it crosswise. For clarity, I will show you in the photo.

I was surprised and naturally asked why such incisions should be made. Well, she explained that this method of fastening is better. Adheres better and holds well. Indeed, it lasted until the end of the day well, did not slip, as often happened before and had to glue a new plaster. This method also turned out to be economical.

Thanks to the slight fold (if, of course, I am speaking correctly), the edges on both sides of the absorbent pad adhere much better. These edges, when the plaster was usually glued, always remained sticking out and let moisture and dust pass through. And now everything is hermetically glued and even washed the dishes normally, without wetting the wound site. Use;)
