Better Living Corner - Wound Care Supplies

In most homes, we all have bandaids, antibiotic ointment and maybe a roll of gauze and tape. That is the extent of the "wound care" section in the medicine cabinet.

Sunny asked: My son had a doozy of a bicycle accident. Our doctor sent us home all bandaged up, but I need more than the basic supplies. What wound care supplies are available?

We answered: Wound care has come a long way and there is a wide array of products available for wounds from burns to lacerations and major road rash.

Here is a basic rundown on Wound Care Supplies:

Adhesive Tapes come in elastic/stretchy, cloth, paper, plastic, breathable, see-through and with or without strong adhesion.

DuoDerm Dressing is a hydrocolloid/gel forming agent and is moisture retentive for high exudating wounds (leaking).

Gauze Pads & Drain Sponges are available in a wide variety of styles and types and are absorbent for different types of exudation. There literally is something for everything available these days!

Hydropolymer or Hydrogel Dressing is an "island dressing" with an adhesive border and central foam to absorb exudate.

Non-Adherent Dressings use no adhesive and the contact layer will not stick to the wound. These require some other form of retention such as tape.

Packing Strips can be impregnated with iodoform solution and are used for nasal passages, drain wicks or packing deep wounds.

Self Adherent Wrap is elastic wrap that functions as tape but only sticks to itself, not the skin.

Self Adherent Dressings are used for longer term coverage and protection, adhere to the skin and are either absorbent island style or transparent and breathable.

Of course this is just a simple breakdown of what is available! For more information or for help in finding the right wound care supplies for you, call us at 800-873-7121 or visit our website! We are happy to help you find what you need!

Bicyclists Beware!

I can just feel myself thawing with the earth now that warmer weather is upon us! And this means longer days and more daylight. This also means that in the great state of Colorado, specifically Boulder county, there are a ton more bicyclists on the road.

And I learned something new yesterday afternoon about bicyclists and their bicycle shorts. As I was sitting at a light waiting for it to turn green, a biker rode up next to me and stopped. We were facing east, which means the sun was shining itself mightily on this mans back and rear end. (Dont say you dont look, because you know you do!)

Anyway, what I learned is that bicycle shorts DO wear out. With the sun at this particular angle and the close proximity of this biker, I was able to clearly see his rear end through his washed-one-too-many-times shorts. Im not kidding.

So, bikers, I advise you to hold your shorts up to a light and verify if new ones need to be purchased before heading out this riding season.

Also, if you crash, we have wound care supplies that will fix you right up! You might even want to create a "road rash kit": Click Here for Wound Care Supplies At GREAT Prices!
