Dressing and Bandage
The adhesive tape was invented by Richard G. Drew.
After cleaning the wound, remove the bandage backing to reveal the adhesive, and gently apply the bandage to the wound without touching the gauze.
If an adhesive bandage is placed on a bodypart which will generally encounter quite a lot of movement/use, the bandage is likely to experiance additional "wear and tear" and probably come off sooner than expected. (E.g on hands, feet or elbows etc...) Also if the bandage is applied to a bodypart which is likely to get wet (e.g hands) the bandage is unlikely to stay on effectively. It is usually the two M's, "movement" and "moisture" which cause adhesive bandages to come off prematurely.
