YIDERBO Pregnancy Test Accessories - 7/8" x 10 Yards Tubular Dressing Gauze, White

The best kept secret for dressing of injuries. So, after a somewhat serious shop accident in which I partly sanded my finger away with my drum sander due to a serious, but temporary infestation of cognitive flatulence, I went to a hand specialist for advice about recovery. When he redressed my injured finger, he used this stuff... It's a godsend! No muss. No fuss. You get your injury completely enclosed and wrap some of that mesh tape and you are good to go. The problem is that the usual local pharmacies don't carry it, so you have to go to 'zon or a really good pharmacy. Watch the YouTube videos to see how easy it is.

I liked the application of the product.

cover wounds to finger

My husband had a very large wound on his index finger from an accident with a power tool. This area was very hard to bandage and protect, however this product worked great. A non-stick telfa pad on the wound with this product covering and holding the non-stick pad then a small amount of 1/2" Coban (we liked Coban better since it doesn't leave sticky adhesive) or tape on the top to secure the tubular bandage.

I found out about this tube gauze over 25 years ago and it remains my "go to" dressing for fingers that are splinted (or not). At that time I was shown a technique (cutting the end of the tube in two pieces to be used to tie the dressing to the hand) that is far superior for folks that are active with their handsl Place tube on finger and give a twist to then reverse pass another layer over the first (make sure you have sufficient gauze to go around hand and wrist and cut that additional length in half lengthwise to create two tails to wrap around hand and wrist to be tied on, No tape falling off or slipping - stays put!

Thank God for this product. M right index finger lost a battle with my table saw 2 months ago. After reattachment, it had to be kept clean and, hidden if you will, but at his same time, aerated to promote healing. They sell 4 feet of this stuff at CVS for $6 and change. Buy one from CVS for the applicator which is nice. Buy the Surgitube for thereafter. Use 7/8 for a man or 5/8 for a woman. I'm akmost finished with my second roll. One applied, I secure it with a self adhering stretch wrap - not tightly wound and not more than one wrap.

I was familiar with it from prior finger surgeries. I had some minor surgery on my big toe and struggled with a way to bandage it comfortably. I couldn't find it anywhere so I went on line. Note: you must have the appropriate applicator. Recommend the larger metal one seen nearby the product.

This tubing has worked well for me, but next time I will get the 1inch size. I use it to bag bait for catfish to keep the bait on the hook.
