From the beginning in 1901, Leukoplast has been committed to meeting the needs of healthcare professionals and supplying high quality products. Now the entire world can benefit from this heritage, because with Leukoplast wound care products all our knowledge is available to everybody. Discover how it all got started!

In 1901, Leukoplast invented the world’s first self-adhesive plaster tape, using zinc oxide and natural rubber.

In 1920, the iconic red spool and snap ring were launched on the market.

With the introduction of the world’s first wide area fixation dressing, Leukoplast presents yet another innovation.

With the ultra-thin, breathable and conformable films that feel like a second skin, the next level of sterile post-op dressings was introduced in 2006.

In 2015 and 2016, Leukoplast launched several products with infection-preventing properties: Leukomed Sorbact with bacteria-binding technology, Leukoplast fixation tapes with a new antimicrobial spool and snap ring, and Leukomed Control which is fully transparent to allow for early recognition of potential infections.

Frequent dressing changes are an everyday part of life for many patients and medical staff. People with fragile and compromised skin, however, are at risk of being injured every time. The soft silicone adhesive of the new Leukoplast skin sensitive range enables an atraumatic dressing change and helps to protect against adhesive-related injuries.
