How often should I change a wound plaster?
Wound plasters should be changed according to the severity of the wound. As a general rule, you can change the Hansaplast regular plaster once every day. However, if there is any exudate leaking through the plaster, you should change it immediately. Clean the wound between every change to ensure wound hygiene and optimum healing. Make sure to dispose of the used dressing plaster in the proper manner. Stop applying the plaster only once the skin has healed completely.

Should I keep small wounds open instead of putting on a wound plaster?
Keeping wounds open may be a common practice, but in reality, it is detrimental to wound healing. There is plentiful research to back up the fact that wounds heal faster when they are protected with a wound plaster. Moreover, even minor wounds are prone to infections when left open. Covering your wound prevents the entry of bacteria and greatly reduces the risk of infection. It also minimizes scarring. Hence, it is always wise to cover your wounds using Hansaplast bandages. -
How to prevent infection of wounds?
Wound infections can easily be avoided by following the proper wound care procedures to clean, disinfect, and dress a wound. Refer to the wound cleaning process listed above for reference. Take care to cover your wounds according to the size and severity of the wound, using a suitably sized Hansaplast bandage. Wounds that are left open are more prone to infection than covered wounds.Look out for the tell-tale signs of infection such as redness, swelling and pus.
If your wound is not showing signs of improvement even after a few days, consult a doctor.
