Bamboo Bandages

A bandage made from bamboo rather than plastic, so it can go in the compost instead of the bin. It breathes better than a plastic strip, which matters on a cut that has to stay covered all day, and the adhesive is a gentler one than the usual.

Water-resistant enough for ordinary life, but not made for swimming or long soaks in the bath.

Materials

100% bamboo fabric, a degradable viscose pad and a medical-grade pressure-sensitive adhesive. Plastic-free, latex-free, PFAS-free and free of petroleum. Compostable.

How to use

Clean and dry the skin first. Lay the pad over the cut and press the adhesive edges down. Replace daily, or sooner if it gets wet or dirty.

Please note

For minor cuts, scrapes and blisters. For a deep wound, heavy bleeding or any sign of infection, see a healthcare provider.
