Nexcare Bandages
Nexcare Bandages
Nexcare bandages are the No. 1 hospital brand to protect cuts, scrapes, burns and blisters. Available in multiple sizes, shapes and materials for all types of abrasions, Nexcare bandages provide comfortable, waterproof wound care for the whole family.
Where Are Nexcare Bandages Made?
Nexcare bandages are made in the USA by 3M, a leading supplier of tapes and dressings to hospitals worldwide. Designed for home care, Nexcare bandages use innovation and technology to help your wounds stay covered and protected.
Many Nexcare products, including Nexcare waterproof bandages and Nexcare DUO bandages, are made with rubber latex-free materials to help prevent allergic reaction. If you have sensitive skin, American-made Nexcare also offers bandages made with a hypoallergenic adhesive that is extra gentle when removed. These bandages help provide a softer touch for children and seniors with more delicate skin.
How Do You Apply Nexcare Waterproof Bandages?
Nexcare waterproof bandages and max hold waterproof bandages are designed to stay on skin and keep water out when you're bathing or swimming. Before affixing your bandage, clean around the wound with water and mild liquid or bar soap and pat skin dry. Next, pull the wrapper apart and grasp each end tab to peel off the bandage. Apply the bandage to the wound and press firmly to seal. Last, remove the paper frames from around the bandage edges.
When it's time to change or remove your bandage, grasp one edge of the bandage and stretch it away from the wound, parallel to your skin. The adhesive should release easily and painlessly.
Do Nexcare Bandages Work?
Nexcare bandages bring hospital-trusted products to your home first aid kit or medicine cabinet. The bandages' proven waterproof technology features built-in microscopic channels that keep your wound dry while helping it to breathe and heal more quickly. The 360-degree seal around the bandage pad also provides stronger adhesion and protection from dirt and germs.
For larger wounds, look to Nexcare Tegaderm hospital-grade transparent dressings. Made with an ultra-thin film developed by scientists, these completely clear bandages comfortably flex and move with the body and can be worn for up to a week, so you can bathe, shower and enjoy water activities. Nexcare bandages have been used by doctors and nurses for over 25 years.
