Bensons Best Illness Nursing Plaster Porous
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the late 19th century showcases a caring nurse applying Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster to a young child's leg. The child, with a hopeful expression, rests comfortably on a bed while the nurse skillfully applies the plaster, ensuring it adheres evenly to the affected area. The porous plaster, manufactured by Benson's, was a popular alternative to traditional bandages and compresses for various illnesses and injuries, particularly those involving inflammation or swelling. The Capcine Plaster, as it was often called, was renowned for its unique properties. Its porous nature allowed it to absorb excess moisture and release medicated vapors, enhancing the healing process. The active ingredient, capric acid, was derived from coconut oil and was believed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The use of plasters for medical purposes dates back to ancient civilizations, but the introduction of porous plasters like Benson's Capcine Plaster revolutionized the field of nursing and home care. This photograph, taken on July 28, 1887, is a testament to the advancements in medical care during the late Victorian era and the compassionate care provided by dedicated nurses. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and reminds us of the importance of care, comfort, and the human touch in the healing process. Despite the passage of time, the principles of compassionate care and the use of innovative medical solutions continue to be the cornerstone of modern healthcare.
