Fabric Plasters Fingertip & Knuckle - Aero (12)

Fingertips and knuckles are two of the hardest spots to keep a plaster on, and common sites for minor cuts around a kitchen or a workshop. This pack mixes both shapes: six fingertip plasters and six knuckle plasters, twelve in total, so the awkward sites are covered without a drawer full of the wrong shape.

The fingertip plasters are cut to fold over the end of a finger, and the knuckle plasters are shaped to wrap a joint. Both use a stretch fabric backing and an adhesive Aero gives as hypoallergenic that holds where a straight strip lifts. The pad is soft, and the fabric is air-permeable rather than a sealed plastic film.

The mixed pack suits a home or glovebox kit where you want the two difficult shapes on hand without committing to a full box of each. They are flesh-coloured, and Aero states the range is latex-free.

FAD carries the single-shape boxes too, so once you know whether your kit burns through fingertip or knuckle covers faster you can restock the right one. The full fabric range sits together on the site, with phone advice on 03 5443 2239.

Usage

Clean and dry the skin first. For a fingertip, fold the plaster over the end of the finger so the pad sits on the cut and the wings wrap the sides. For a knuckle, wrap the shaped wings around the joint. Replace if the plaster lifts or gets wet through.

Care and storage

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep the pack sealed so the plasters stay clean.
