A plaster (10) for topical application comprises a strip (11) securable to the skin by adhesive (13, 13'), a first flap (18) which when pulled exposes to the skin surface a first swab (20) which wipes the skin and a second flap (18') which when pulled exposes in succession to the skin surface a second swab (20') which wipes the skin and then a dressing (14) which remains in contact with the skin. At least one of the swabs (20, 20') can be impregnated with an antiseptic agent so that the action of pulling a flap (18, 18') can result in the skin being cleansed and sterilized prior to the dressing (14) coming into contact therewith. The flaps (18, 18') are each detachable from a central portion (12) at weakened lines (19, 19'), respectively. The surface of the plaster (10) overlying the dressing (14) is provided with an openable aperture (15, 16) for accessing the skin. |
