How to Apply a Band-Aid Correctly: Many People Make a Gross Mistake

At first glance, there is nothing complicated about using the patch.

However, many people act incorrectly when applying this dosage form to their finger or toe.

Most of the time, what people do is they try to just wrap a whole body part in a single patch.

But you need to act differently, otherwise the medicinal form will not stay on your finger and will slide off.

How to properly apply a patch to a finger

Before wrapping the finger, the edges of the patch must be cut.

This needs to be done in such a way that fairly long “ears” are formed.

The resulting ends should be glued to the back of the finger crosswise.

In other words, the upper “ears” of the patch should be at the bottom, and the lower ones at the top.

In this case, the medicinal form will hold well on the finger. And nothing will have to be re-glued.

Knowing this life hack will save a person from unnecessary problems. Now he can not be afraid that the cut will be open again because of the adhesive bandage that has come off.

In addition, you don’t have to worry about the patch “flying off” from the callus that appears on your toe.
