Did you know that wounds generally heal better in a clean, moist, and protected (covered) environment?
That's because an uncovered wound dries out and forms a scab. Scabs actually slow the healing process. They act as a barrier, making it harder for healthy new skin cells to form new tissue. Another good reason to cover a wound is that an uncovered wound is more likely to leave a scar.
Thickness, Absorbency, and Non-Stick are very important key features of
Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS® covers. Here's why:
Thickness—thicker covers help wounds heal by cushioning and protecting them from re-injury
Absorbency—more absorbent covers pull excess fluids away from the wound site, helping to lower the risk of infection
Non-Stick—covers that don't stick to healing wounds will not re-injure wounds upon removal
