3M Viscoplast Prestopor Super Soft surgical plaster strip 1 m x 6 cm, single piece

3M Viscoplast Prestopor Super Soft surgical plaster strip is a 1 m by 6 cm single-piece adhesive dressing designed for cutting to precise lengths as needed. The product provides a soft, conformable layer that adheres gently to skin while offering secure fixation for dressings and light wound coverage. It is intended for medical, first aid and home care situations where a flexible, comfortable adhesive solution is required.

Advantages

The plaster strip combines a soft, non-irritating backing with a mild adhesive that maintains adhesion without aggressive pulling on delicate skin. Its single-piece format and 1 m length allow users to cut custom sizes, reducing waste and enabling tailored application. The 6 cm width provides adequate coverage for a range of wounds and dressing fixation needs while remaining easy to handle and conform to body contours.

Suitable for

• Covering and protecting minor wounds and abrasions
• Fixation of gauze pads, dressings and tubing
• Securing catheters or lines in clinical and home settings
• Use on sensitive or fragile skin where gentle adhesion is important
• First aid kits for emergency dressing and immobilisation

Key specifications

How to use

Measure the required length and cut the plaster strip using clean scissors. Clean and dry the skin around the wound or dressing area before application. Remove the backing, apply the adhesive side smoothly over the dressing or skin, and press down along the edges to secure. Replace the strip if adhesion weakens or if it becomes soiled; follow local clinical guidance for dressing changes on open wounds.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the plaster on intact, dry skin and avoid stretching the strip excessively during application to reduce tension on the skin. When treating fragile or elderly skin, change dressings more frequently and monitor the application site for signs of irritation. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive performance.
