The antiseptic wash with numbing stuff is key, makes it much easier to clean out wounds. I tried that too, been trying everything and anything on my ankle - 3 weeks, still painful, just stopped bleeding a day ago.
#ROAD RASH 3 MDS SKIN#
Okay, fine, they'd probably work on a skinned knee on a 4 year old.Īlso not really recommended: Second Skin is soothing but doesn't last, and you end up really wrinkly from moisture. Feel like an absolute moron for buying them. I'm using them on my ankle because I bought them but I wouldn't if I had any Tegaderm left. Useless for an ankle unless you double tape them and put an ankle brace on top. See if your contact can get that.ĭO NOT TRY: I tried a pathetic attempt by Johnson and Johnson in a black box (looks like a big bandaid basically), $5 per 4x4.5 patch, horrible, doesn't stick to anything but flat broad surfaces like a bathroom counter. I just realized that they may have an expiration date so I may not do that, but I'll think about it.
#ROAD RASH 3 MDS SERIES#
I plan on buying a 6" x 11 yard roll of Tegaderm for the Bethel Spring Series ($300-350) as the main part of my first aid kit. I can't imagine "a lot" of road rash, you'd need tons more Tegaderm. We got a few at the hospital, the doc was nice.
I don't know how many my wife bought but I didn't have a lot of road rash and I think I went through 2 boxes of the 2x3 and maybe 15 of the 4x4.5 pieces, maybe 20.
It's the same place we got my wheelchair (rental), so it's that kind of place you need to find. The 4x4.5 costs $120 for a pack of 30 at our not-so-local medical supply store, or $4 each (they sell them separately). The 2x3 or whatever gets one ding covered, not much else ($10 for 8). Having written that post (the sprinterdellacasa one) long after my last fall and before this last one, I realized that it's hard to find the right Tegaderm.įor Tegaderm you want the 4"x4.5" stuff.
