Select the proper Bandage Tape:

Bandage tape is available in various forms. Be sure to choose one that’s designed for the type of wound you have. For those small cuts and scrapes, a regular adhesive bandages tape does the trick. For larger wounds or burns, you might need a more durable bandage tape for added insurance.

How to Make Bandage Tape Last and Last:

Change the Tape: Change the tape on the bandage daily to ensure that the wound is clean and that it does not get infected.

Be on the Lookout for Dirt or Water: If the bandage tape gets wet or dirty, disinfect the bite again and put on a new bandage to  keep the germs away.

Inspect the Wound: Look at the wound to determine the healing process. If you find redness, swelling or pus, tell a parent or a doctor.

Peel gently: Remove the bandage gently to prevent pain in the wound.
