Laastareihin

Laastareihin is a Finnish term that translates to "band-aids" or "plasters" in English. It refers to small, adhesive dressings used to cover and protect minor wounds, cuts, scrapes, and blisters. These are commonly found in first-aid kits and household medicine cabinets.

Typically, a laastari consists of a piece of absorbent material, such as gauze, attached to a sticky backing. The adhesive side is designed to stick to the skin, holding the absorbent pad in place over the wound. The pad itself absorbs any exudate from the wound and provides a barrier against dirt and bacteria, thus aiding the healing process and preventing infection.

Laastareihin come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials to suit different types of injuries and body parts. Some are waterproof, while others are made of fabric or plastic. Specialized laastareihin may also exist for specific purposes, such as blister treatment or finger protection. Their ease of use and accessibility make them a common remedy for everyday minor injuries.
