Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My husband recently hurt his finger by peeling all the skin off it (almost down to the bone).It basically acted like a third-degree burn, since the wound had to heal from the bottom up to the skin.The J&J pads (though a bit pricey), along with a gentle wound wash, pain relief/antibiotic creme, and some tube gauze made a big difference in the healing process.The pads come in a variety of sizes (though I did have to cut ours down a bit, to fit around his finger correctly), and are easy to apply.The hydrogel padding that goes over the wound works well, wicking away the weeping moisture at the beginning of the wound recovery.The adhesive works well too, keeping the bandage on the finger, but making it easy to remove as well.No messy adhesive residue to remove!In my husband's case, we made sure the finger stayed rigid during the healing process, by adding a few layers of tube gauze over the bandaged finger, then using a J&J waterproof tape to hold everything in place.The wound took about a bit over a month and a half to heal, but I think that's quite a bit faster than it would have been using other methods.
Johnson & Johnson has a great product in these pads, even if you have to pay a bit more.It's cheaper than going back to the doctor's office to have they re-apply a dressing!

Another type of Athletic Tape is called "Kinesio Tape". It has been the latest craze with Professional and Olympic Athletes alike for several reasons. First of all, it’s thinner than regular tape, which makes it much easier to place over slightly stretched skin and muscles. Doing this helps to promote healing without straining the muscle by using the subtle elastic properties of the tape itself. Second, it can be worn for several days at a time which reduces the amount of time spent taping.
