Description
The Leukoplast Elastic Adhesive Bandages are stretchable fabric dressings that cover minor wounds such as cuts and grazes and keep them sealed while the skin underneath moves. Cross-elastic fabric and shaped options for fingers, knuckles and toes make the range a first aid staple for clinics, schools and workplaces that dress small wounds all day.
- Cross-elastic fabric – stretches across the joint, so dressings on fingers, elbows, knees and wrists flex instead of lifting.
- Island wound pad – a soft fleece pad sits at the centre of each dressing, with the adhesive border sealing the skin around it.
- Fifteen configurations – strips, patches, spots and shaped digit dressings in boxes and bulk cases for every level of use.
Elastic Fabric That Moves With Fingers, Knees and Elbows
Fingers, knuckles, knees and elbows bend hundreds of times a day, and a stiff dressing on a joint works loose long before the wound underneath has settled. The cross-elastic fabric in this range stretches across the direction of movement, so each dressing follows the bend instead of fighting it. At the centre of every shape, a soft fleece island pad covers the wound itself, and the adhesive border around the pad seals against the skin to keep dirt and moisture away from the broken surface. The pad is non-woven and low adherent, so it lifts away at dressing changes without clinging to the wound bed. Strips handle everyday cuts, patches cover wider scrapes, and the fingertip, knuckle, toe shield and four-wing shapes wrap the awkward places that flat dressings cannot follow. Boxes suit treatment rooms and first aid kits, while the bulk strip and patch cases restock high-volume stations.
Features and Benefits
Every shape in the range shares the same cross-elastic fabric, island pad and adhesive border. The differences are shape, size and pack, so the right dressing is a matter of matching the wound and the body part.
Fabric and Pad
- Cross-Elastic Fabric: stretches across fingers and joints, so the dressing flexes with movement instead of peeling at the edges.
- Highly Absorbent Wound Pad: the island pad takes up fluid from cuts and grazes and keeps the wound surface covered.
- Low-Adherent Fleece Surface: the non-woven pad does not stick to the wound, so changes are quicker and gentler.
Fit and Seal
- Adhesive Border Seal: the adhesive edge around the pad seals the wound against dirt while the pad stays centred.
- Shaped Digit Dressings: fingertip, knuckle, toe shield and four-wing shapes wrap joints and digits that flat strips cannot cover.
- Strong Adhesion: the adhesive holds the dressing in place through normal daily movement and activity.
Range and Supply
- Fifteen Shapes and Packs: strips in three widths, patches in three sizes, two spot shapes and four shaped dressing types cover the minor-wound map.

Why Choose the Leukoplast Elastic Adhesive Bandages?
One range covers the minor wounds a clinic or workplace sees most, from fingertip cuts to scraped knees. Matching the shape to the body part keeps dressings on longer and cuts down on mid-day re-dressing.
- Joint-ready stretch – cross-elastic fabric keeps dressings seated on the fingers, knees and elbows that defeat stiff bandages.
- Shape for every spot – fingertip, knuckle, toe shield and four-wing shapes protect the places flat strips leave exposed.
- Sealed island pad – the pad covers the wound while the adhesive border seals the skin around it against dirt.
- Stocked your way – single boxes for kits and treatment rooms, bulk cases for stations that go through bandages by the thousand.
Frequently Asked Questions
What wounds are these bandages for?
They are made for minor wounds such as cuts and grazes that need a covered, sealed dressing. Deeper wounds, heavy bleeding or wounds that show signs of infection need clinical care rather than a first aid dressing.
Why does the fabric stretch across the dressing?
The cross-elastic weave stretches across fingers and joints, so the dressing bends with the body part instead of peeling at the corners. That makes the range a practical choice for hands, knees, elbows and wrists that stay in motion.
Which shape should I choose for a finger injury?
Fingertip dressings wrap the end of the finger, knuckle dressings flex over the joint, and the toe shield is shaped for toes. Standard strips suit the sides of fingers and other flat areas.
Are the bandages latex free?
Thirteen of the fifteen configurations are latex free, including every single box on this page. The two bulk cases are not marked latex free, so check the configuration list before ordering for a latex-sensitive setting.
What is the difference between the boxes and the bulk cases?
Boxes of 50, 100 or 300 bandages suit first aid kits, treatment rooms and school nurse stations. The bulk cases hold 4,875 patches or 8,100 strips for central supply and high-volume restocking.
How should the bandage be applied?
Centre the pad over the wound, then smooth the dressing down and press it into place with light pressure and no tension. Warming the dressing between the palms before applying it can increase the adhesive strength.
