Band-Aid use
Generally speaking, if only a slight epidermal abrasion, there is no need to use a band-aid.
If the skin wound is relatively deep, and unconditional treatment, you need to use clean water to rinse the wound, and then use a band-aid for a simple bandage. But the time of wrapping should not be too long, preferably not more than two days.
When using, tear open the package, put the center of the absorbent pad on the trauma, and then tear off the two ends of the covering film and use tape to fix the position.
Advantages:
The band-aid can compress and stop bleeding, protect the wound, prevent infection, and promote healing, and at the same time, it has the advantages of small size, easy to use, easy to carry, and reliable efficacy.
Disadvantages:
The adhesive tape used in the traditional band-aid has poor breathability, and the water vapor and sweat normally secreted by the human body locally can not penetrate this layer of adhesive tape, so it produces a soaking effect on the local skin, which is specifically reflected in the local skin folds.
