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® First Aid 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

Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS® First Aid Advanced Healing Adhesive Pads
Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS® First Aid Advanced Healing Adhesive Pads are made from a flexible and absorbent material that acts in place of a scab and encourages fast, natural healing. This unique pad is clinically tested and proven to allow for faster healing than with an ordinary bandage. Designed to stay on for several days, the pad acts like an instant scab to seal in your body's own natural healing fluids and to seal out water, dirt, and germs that can cause infection. A scab may leave behind a noticeable change in the appearance of healed skin, commonly known as a scar. By preventing scab formation, Advanced Healing Adhesive Pads absorb excess moisture to form a white gel cushion over the wound. The gel cushion provides protection from bumping and maintains moisture balance. 4 Sterile Adhesive Pads (3 in. x 2.25 in.)
