Can it work for a bandaged wound/no cast?
1439161
Yes. My husband does not have a cast, but has to keep the wound dry and it works wonderful.
1439162
Yes, it is I am using it for my foot that had a bunion removed and I do not have a cast.
1439163
=yes, i had a surgical wound = no cast - used it in the shower without a problem
1439164
Yes - My wound was bandaged with surgical gauze. It will work fine. To put the bag on, I put my fingers threw the seal & put my foot in the bag. (My wound had 16 stitches & very tender for the first week!).
1439165
Yes. Anything below the knee will work. I initially had a splint for 2 weeks and the technique of application is still the same. I still love this product and have used it every 2 days since October 23. I do require husbands assist to put on cause I am a large women and can't lift leg and stretch rubber phalange at same time to put over cast.

It would work for a bandaged leg. The seal works great. Just pull it up to your thigh and then push the ring back down slightly to create the seal needed.
1439167
Absolutely! Goes on even better because you need not stretch it as much to get it over the bandage. I love mine. Felt so good to shower after surgery and not have to worry about water in my wound.

I say no, while my husband's surgery sight was well wrapped, the seal was so tight that it was impossible to get it on without causing pain. As he tried to pull it over the bandage the seal-ring area came off his hand and snapped on the bandage area & pulled on his stitches and caused quite a bit of pain. Perhaps the difference between him and other 3 that responded is they didn't have stitches?

If the wound area is well protected it would probably work well.The issue would be getting the top ring with the rubber seal overthe site without putting pressure on it. If you had help putting iton I think it might work. It does work quite well! Good luck!

Yes, it will work with and without a cast. It's keeping my foot nice and dry every time I shower.

Yes. I cut a piece off and used it to protect a finger injury from bumping. Worked very well, glad I had it on hand, ha ha. Actually this is probably the most likely use for this item. Go to Sam splint YouTube videos to see other uses.

I don't know. I ordered the ones that were the size of the wound. They are medicated and if you cut the package, I don't know how that would affect the part that was not immediately applied to the wound. They do work very well though.

I have used it during boot camp, didn't really do what I needed. However, I found out I have a torn tendon, so I have a boot cast on which is helping. I figured when it heals I can go back to this for support.

This is used to hold gauze on a wound. But I use this for wrapping areas that need compression. I do PT and focus on foot issues, generally I wrap the arch with this or around the calf area for plantar fasciitis and shin splints.

Use as much as is necessary to stop/control the bleeding until you can get to a hospital. This is not meant to be a permanent "fix" and there is no set amount to use on specific circumstances. Especially on a severe wound, there's no reason to use this stuff sparingly.

Yes it can. It wil speed up the healing process. What it can't heal is fin cartilage. Once that is gone the fin will never be the same, but at least it won't be an open wound.

Yes. but I would definitely use a patch for extra strengh. If it's a tear try and patch inside and out. Good Luck.

Based on my experience with it (been using it for months) I would not put it directly on an open wound. You could put it on a scar, but be careful peeling it off.

Good question - I wish I knew the answer. I use mine for my son's surgical scars. You might consult with your doctor to see what he/she thinks.

No, had not heard of that use. I just like it for wounds, scrapes and scratches.

This dressing is used for Iv sites. It is waterproof on the outside however if you are sweating underneath the bandage it will be wet underneath the bandage.

It is an ointment which is kind of greasy like Vaseline type product. I did not bandage and not sure you are supposed to. Actually I did not find it to be helpful at all but perhaps that was just me.

1 pair rubber gloves, 1 gauze wrap, 1 Quick Clot "bag" (put entire bag on wound), 2 2x2 gauze pads, 6 alcohol wipes, some duct tape to help hold the gauze wrap in place. Unfortunately, had to use one 3 days ago. Really worked though, and the package is resealable, so you can store the stuff you don't use.

Yes it is sterile and helped heal my wound. Best of luck! Would recommend this product.

We used it with a regular cast, but I don't see why you couldn't use it over an air cast. It could be a lot of pressure, so you might not want it over a really swollen ankle or something like that. Otherwise it should be fine.

I wouldn't recommend this because it is like a clear "see-through" tape that just covers any cuts or any injury and protects it mostly from water or any other liquids. I would put a gauze and put tape around it instead. Hope u heal and hope this helps!
