A wound plaster (1) comprises a patch (2) securable to the skin by an adhesive coating (3) on one side thereof and includes a dressing (4) located on a portion of said one side and a swab (8) located on a portion of the other side of the patch (2). The adhesive coating (3) and the dressing (4) are covered by at least one protective release strip (5, 6) and the swab (8) is covered by another protective strip (9). The plaster (1) therefore combines a separate swab with a wound dressing that is of particular use for cleansing and dressing injection sites. The plaster (1) has been devised particularly for use by diabetics where a blood sample must be taken prior to an insulin injection. |
