A better bandage

Breathable, waterproof, hypoallergenic and transparent: check out bandages that increase healing and reduce scarring.

By Celia Milne

Bothered by broken blisters from your new fall shoes? Then check out Elastoplast Fast Healing bandages -- they contain pockets of polyurethane gel to create a moist environment.

Clinical studies show that moist healing can speed up repair of a wound by up to 50 per cent. It prevents a scab from forming, so no unsightly scar is left behind. Bandages are breathable, waterproof, hypoallergenic and transparent. Leave them on for two days or more, until the cut has healed.
