It&#8217;s much better than adhesive tape or a big band-aid.\u00a0Tegaderm is\u00a0an air-permeable plastic film, as thin as cling film, but stronger and with an adhesive. I&#8217;ve found it adheres perfectly and because it is so thin it&#8217;s unnoticeable, especially on joints. You don&#8217;t even remember it&#8217;s on. Because of its thinness Tegaderm works really great under clothing. It&#8217;s breathable, too, and won&#8217;t come off in water. And since it is transparent,\u00a0the dressing is not as visible, and\u00a0you can see what&#8217;s going on underneath.\u00a0It comes in sterile packaging about the size of a playing card, so you can apply it right over the injury, with the option to include some gauze underneath at first.\u00a0I&#8217;ve cut smaller pieces for finger cuts, but I&#8217;ve found that waterproof bandaids work better for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Better bandage<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[18],"tags":[2307],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7245"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34564,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245\/revisions\/34564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
