I don’t think I’ve ever had a cut that bled that profusely. That bandaid would have been so helpful to prevent wet soggy bandaid causing my barely scabs to fall off and restart the bleeding/clotting process.Outrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-69939117389352451422012-02-11T05:06:31.409-05:002012-02-11T05:06:31.409-05:00those fancy bandages make me want to cut myself......those fancy bandages make me want to cut myself...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-36717508299466671522012-02-09T08:59:27.449-05:002012-02-09T08:59:27.449-05:00Just wondering - do you find that it affects the s...Just wondering - do you find that it affects the strength you have for jaw lift and bag mask ventilation with the handwound?

Every Winter I would suffer from painful cracking knuckles. This was a result of washing my hands about 30 to 40 times per day and using an alcohol hand product the agency gave us to use between patients. I had tried numerous hand creams and lotions and nothing helped until I read about Bag Balm in a quilting magazine. It works !<br />http://www.pharmapacks.com/products.php?product=Bag-Balm-Protective-Ointment-10-oz&gclid=CLf6mtjPjq4CFUHc4AodVD58fAMaryhttp://www.trustinghim.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-3083215818178616772012-02-08T02:18:28.795-05:002012-02-08T02:18:28.795-05:00Are these latex free?

So I'd say functionally, yeah, pretty well occlusive.<br /><br />(My old method for wound isolation was wrapping the injured finger in a Tegaderm, but this created an unsettling Fruit Roll Up quality to the digit, and all the loose edges were gross lint traps.)Michelle Auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04938937923678734252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-5152843139148979132012-02-07T18:33:59.007-05:002012-02-07T18:33:59.007-05:00Michelle, I am on my psych rotation right now and ...Michelle, I am on my psych rotation right now and I think of your cartoon often.

I cut my thumbnail almost in the middle and I don't want it ripping off on anything but normal bandaids are USELESS if they come in contact with water. I do enjoy getting rid of microbes by washing my hands.<br /><br />Good luck with cooking.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957870218750281678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779260.post-11572213423328136432012-02-07T13:08:20.191-05:002012-02-07T13:08:20.191-05:00By truly occlusive, do you mean to say that you ca...By truly occlusive, do you mean to say that you can wash your hands lots without *any* moisture passing through?
