PLASTERS Meaning and Definition

1. Plasters refer to a type of adhesive bandage applied to the skin’s surface for medical or first-aid purposes. They are typically made of a thin, flexible material such as fabric, plastic, or latex, with an adhesive backing that allows them to stick to the skin securely. Plasters are commonly used to cover minor cuts, wounds, abrasions, or blisters on the body, providing protection and aiding in the healing process.

   Their primary function is to create a barrier between the affected area and external factors that could potentially hinder the recovery process such as dirt, bacteria, or friction. Plasters work by creating a sterile environment over the injured site, preventing infections while providing a degree of cushioning and support. Additionally, they can help stop bleeding, absorb any discharge, and promote faster wound healing.

   Plasters are available in various shapes and sizes to suit different areas of the body and types of injuries. They come either in pre-cut shapes or as larger rolls that can be trimmed to the required size. Some plasters are infused with antibacterial substances or have additional features, such as being waterproof or breathable, to enhance their effectiveness and comfort.

   Overall, plasters are a widely used and indispensable item in healthcare and first-aid. Their ease of application, affordability, and versatility make them accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, allowing for effective wound care and protection against external influences that could impede the body's natural healing process.

Etymology of PLASTERS

The word "plasters" has its origins in the Old French word "plastre" (pronounced plas-tre), which was derived from the Latin word "emplastrum" (pronounced em-plas-trum). "Emplastrum" itself was a borrowing from the Greek word "emplastron" (pronounced em-plas-tron), meaning "plaster". The term referred to a medical application typically made of a solid or semi-solid substance spread over a wound or an injury to protect or heal it. Over time, the word "plasters" became the plural form used to denote these medical dressings or bandages.
