Band-Aids, Patches & Dressings

Bandages, Patches and Dressings

It's always been said that prevention is better than cure, and there's no better way to prevent it than having a complete first aid kit at home, at work, or when traveling. Having basic care items on hand can solve any emergency or prevent a minor wound or discomfort from developing complications and becoming a more serious problem. To achieve this, it's important to always have sterile gauze, cotton, dressings, bandages, adhesive tape, band-aids, and more.

Likewise, it's important to maintain good hygiene and care for all the items we store, since if they are neglected, they can lose their antiseptic properties, which are so important for preventing an open wound from becoming infected or muscle pain from worsening. Therefore, we must always clean and disinfect all the accessories we have used to store bandages, patches, or dressings, whether scissors or tweezers, and replenish the materials we use so we never find ourselves in the situation of urgently needing something and running out.

Our First Aid Kit

At Farma2Go, we help you build that much-needed first-aid kit with the most important medical supplies, in addition to other products commonly found in every home, such as cotton or gauze. For example, you should always have a good supply of bandages and dressings, especially if you live with children. These should be made of tolerable material and have an adhesive that sticks to the skin, respecting the wound area, protecting and caring for it. It's important, especially for little ones, that the dressing be painless to remove. Therefore, in addition to the strong adhesiveness that keeps the bandage in place, you also need to add the easy-to-remove properties.

Another item that can be very useful are patches to relieve muscle and joint pain, whether in the neck, shoulders, or wrists. Some can release heat to provide soothing and relief for a prolonged period; and others can be cold to mitigate pain from sprains, bruises, strains, headaches, or to reduce swelling.
