Fabric type Elastoplast plaster to remove splinters

Submitted by Anne

Use the fabric type Elastoplast and apply it directly onto the splinter,with the sticky part directly over the splinter. This draws the splinter to the surface. Put two layers of the Elastoplast over the area to be treated.

Leave it in place for about 4-5 days and the splinter should be ready to pick out with tweezers, if it does not come out on the plaster when you remove it. An old and tested remedy that I can vouch for.
