First Aid Only 3" Non-sterile Conforming Gauze Roll Bandage

First Aid Only 3' Non-sterile Conforming Gauze Roll Bandage, 10-Count BoxI've had to keep my ankle bandaged for several months after an accident. Having these wraps has been so much more comfortable than taping gauze to my foot. They are pretty thin, but after wrapping several times, I have no issues.

I needed something to wrap my toe with after surgery that was soft and wouldn't bother my stitches. This did a great job of making it comfortable for me.

These gauze are good to have for those minor scrapes and cuts. You get plenty so you can refill your first aid kit when some to spare.

American Diagnostic Corporation 340 Velcro Tourniquet, Adult, Blue, Adult

American Diagnostic Corporation 340 Velcro Tourniquet, Adult, Blue, AdultThis product is made for adults? I am a smaller than average adult and this thing wont fit around my arm at all. Well maybe my wrist only, but this is useless junk. I'll just keep it for child use only. Use a belt or some other type of tourniquet instead.

I purchased this thinking it would be easier to put on yourself in the event it was necessary. Well, the rubber does not have much give so applying it to ones arm alone is difficult. Had I cut my artery (which happened recently) I would have probably bled out since i would have had to remove pressure from the wound and then taken a minute to situate myself so I could hold, stretch, and apply. It would have been better had they had a buckle that it doubled back through before being velcroed to itself.

First, this is a great product if:

Used on a very small person, who isn't you... (almost impossible to use on yourself.)

I thought that I found a way to use it on myself, then almost have it ripped in two pieces... IN TWO DAYS... I mean it's GREAT QUALITY rubber and such, and I ALMOST BROKE IT IN TWO DAYS! It's maybe 1 foot long... ONE FOOT LONG.... for an adult.

I'm beside myself.

As I said, GREAT QUALITY for a first aid kit, just don't hurt yourself... yikes.

ELASTIKON Elastic Tape: 3'' x 180''-Box of 4 By Johnson & Johnson

ELASTIKON Elastic Tape: 3'' x 180''-Box of 4 By Johnson & JohnsonThis tape is works well for its intended use, binding muscles or tendons as with an Ace bandage.

It is also handy over a wound dressing, over sterile tape, as its ability to stretch with the skin helps it to adhere well, so long as its lengthwise stretch direction is aligned with the direction of skin stretch.

A downside is that it sticks so well that it can be hard to get the adhesive residue off the skin. It will come off with rubbing alchohol and/or mineral oil, though, with some scrubbing.

I am a gymnast with achilles tendinitis, and I love this tape because it practically gives me a new achiles

OLAES 4" Modular Bandage

OLAES 4' Modular BandageIt's a trauma bandage for a gunshot wound. Thankfully, I haven't had to use it, so I can only rate it on the exterior appearance of the packaging and what I've read about the OLAES product on the internet.

This is the next best thing since sliced bread! For trauma wounds it's unserpassed! I am a former lpn of the U S ARMY and I have used this pice of kit in IRAQ! Get one and you will see why it's the best

Buy OLAES 4" Modular Bandage Now

An EMT friend of mine just turned me on to this item and I'm glad he did. I am used to using Israeli Bandages and this serves the same function however it has a couple interesting features. For one, it has removable gauze stashed inside the bandage so if you need to cover an entry and exit wound then you have the gauze for one side and the regular bandage part for the other! The little cup which serves to add pressure when you wrap a wound can also be used to protect an eye injury.

One issue I have with this item is that once you open the tan main packaging, the bandage is not in another smaller plastic bag like traditional Israeli bandages. This isn't a major issue but I would have prefered that it came in another smaller sterile plastic bag. All in all, I really like this product.

I like the olaes over the israeli, however the largest I've found is 6" bandage, this one being a 4". So for limb and smaller torso hemorrhaging, these are great, for large abdominal/torso wounds, there is an israeli 12". The plastic "thumb" presser, is actually for helping applying direct pressure, as well as continuing to apply pressure from the wrap stretched over ittaking place of what would have been several gauzes mashed on top of eachother to create extra pressure. An innovative invention that worked. I know. Astonishing.

Lifeline LF-04116 Adventure Pack (65 Pieces)

Lifeline LF-04116 Adventure PackIt's ok, but I was un-impressed.

I think it is better to find a larger high quality kit and reduce it to a "adventure kit".

This specialized kit is very limited in quality and quantity.

I don't remember how much I paid, but it feels like a $5 kit.

Selsun Blue Dandruff Shampoo - Medicated

Selsun Blue Medicated Maximum Strength Dandruff Shampoo, 11 OunceI didn't buy this product because I had a problem with dandruff but I did purchase because I have a irritated scalp associated with eczema. If you are a eczema sufferer like me, you know that even the type of soap and shampoo you use can greatly irritate your skin. Coupled with treating breakouts with topical creams, another way to fight eczema is with the right prevention. This means taking your vitamins, omega-3, and using non irritant soap and shampoo. Selsun Blue immediately cools my scalp when washing my hair and it doesn't leave my skin irritated or itchy. If you suffer from a irritated scalp condition, I highly recommend that you give this shampoo a try. It worked wonders for me.

I have used multiple products for my dandruff problem (Neutrogena, Garnier, Head and Shoulders etc) and this has been the most effective I have found, from the first wash there is great relief, and a few washes afterwards it effectively clears up all the dandruff. I usually apply it twice in each shower to clean the scalp thoroughly. It smells and feels great on the head.

I highly recommend this product, and will continue to buy it.

I am a 13 year old boy who has had dandruff for a year or two. It wasn't neccesarily the itching, just the constant flaking. So, we finally got this, and on the first try it took all the dandruff off my scalp. There is still a little in my hair but that is nothing a little brushing can't fix. The moment you rub it in your hair you feel this satisfying slight stinging sensation. Definently get this.

OK, this has Selenium Sulfide 1% and works great! But the smell for me is unbearable! It smells like menthol cigerettes.

Here is an alternative: The Selsun Blue Medicated Dandruff Shampoo, Moisturizing with the green cap. It has the same amount of anti-dandruff Selenium Sulfide 1%, yet doesn't smell that bad because the menthol isn't in there. The green cap smells great and clean.

Unless you want your hair to have a strong smell of menthol, I highly recommend going with the moisturizing Selsun Blue(green cap) first. If the green cap doesn't work, go to your dermatologists and get a prescription.

Want Selsun Blue Dandruff Shampoo - Medicated Discount?

Hello, male, 22, I went to my dermatologist for a condition I have on my face where I am getting minor pink spots around my chin and jaw line. I also suffer from MPB and due to a minoxidil liquid I use, my scalp flakes and itch.

My dermatologist recommended I use this Selsun Blue for flaking and because it can also help with the problem on my face[not to put it on my face, she prescribed Desonide for my face problem but that's off topic] I think she means like since shampoo runs down your face, the shampoo will go down my chin and it will be good for my skin problem. Because this shampoo claims to treat seborric dermatitis on the scalp[I don't have that, at least not to my knowledge], and I think I have a very minor case of some form of dermatitis on my face.

So I went straight from the dermatologist to Duane Reade and bought two of these for $11 each. That's $22, now I see amazon has them for $7 with free shipping? I could have bought THREE of these if I just came home and looked for the damn shampoo on Amazon, which I always do, this was the first time I bought something like that without using amazon. So that's what I get for being desperate..plus it was hot I needed an excuse to go in to Duane Reade since it's always air conditioned...it was like a pit stop, but I paid for it, literally.

Anyways, I gave it 5 stars because I used it 2 days ago[the day I went to my dermatologist] and my itching and flaking is gone for now. It was an everyday thing, because of the minoxidil I use. So far I have not felt any itching and when I have been combing my hair I don't see the large amounts of flakes falling like it did just 3 days ago. I plan to use this shampoo only twice a week, or maybe once a week. The only bad thing is the smell, but the menthol in it makes my head feel really good. So, 5 stars because it does what it claims to do, and because of the price. Next time I will be buying from Amazon..i'll have to think of something else to buy to enter Duane Reade next time.

Kimberly-Clark Wypall(R) All-Purpose Cleaning Towels

Kimberly-Clark Wypall(R) All-Purpose Cleaning TowelsI originally bought these to lay my med supplies on top of during blood draws, but I'm finding they work great for other household uses as well. Whenever I have a situation where I would normally use many paper towels with a cleaner, I can get away with using just one of these. They don't tear apart when you run water through them to rinse them and then squeeze the liquid out. If you take the price, x's by 100, then divide that by 126 (the amount of wipes in the box), you get a good value for your money. Again, not for regular paper towel uses (the price for me would be too high in this case), but for the tougher duties around work and your home.

My baby is now 5 months old, but he has benefited from Gripe Water since he was 3 weeks old. It is an all natural formula of fennel and ginger that soothes babies tummies and helps with gas and hiccups. It was the only thing that helped my gassy guy and when he was fussing, it soothed him. A must have for new moms!!

Mueller 62712 Thumb Stabilizer

Mueller 62712 Thumb StabilizerI bought this stabilizer to support my wrist and thumb. I was diagnosed with the dreaded "mommy wrist". It is very simple to use and it can be used on either wrist/thumb. It offers adequate support without hurting me or being uncomfortable. I gave a rating of three because the piece that wraps around your thumb seems to wear out a little quicker than I would like. I have purchased two of these and the quality and construction were the same both times.

Medique 740P25P 25-Person Plastic First Aid KitI own a small retail shop and this has everything you could need to take care of the scrapes and bumps that go with doing everything.

You could start your own first aid clinic with this kit! It provides tons of supplies in a nice sturdy case at a great price. The only thing I was disappointed with is that it's a plain white box. I wish it said "First Aid" or had a red cross or something on it. I'm going to mount it on a wall and will have to label it myself with a marker. Other than that, it's a great buy!

GOJO 629902CT - FAST WIPES Hand Cleaning Towels, Cloth, 9 x 10, White, 225/Bucket, 2/Carton

GOJO ® FAST WIPES ® Heavy-Duty Hand Cleaning Towels - 225 Count Bucket - 6299-02We keep this bucket of Gojo clean wipes on the house construction site for anyone to use. Everyone loves them. They've even asked me where I got them. Gojo has done it again.

I absolutely loves these wipes! We got them for our camper. I was expecting them to be much like the Lysol or Clorox wipes that I buy for the house but decided to try these because of the large size. Boy was I surprised! These wipes are so much thicker than the standard wipes. One wipe gets the job done. Hands can get greasy when unhooking the camper or cranking up the pop-up...but one of these wipes and your hands are as fresh and clean as if you'd washed them with soap and water!

These wipes are very strong and do not fall apart while being used. One wipe is enough to get the job done, no need to use multiples. A great way to get clean hands quickly, especially in situations where water is not available for traditional hand cleaning. They work really well for general purpose, and also work quite well with grease.

Now this is a bucket of cleanliness! We use other GOJO products but by far, the introduction of a bucket of wipes is great for a crew of construction workers. Within a few seconds, your hands are clean and free of grease and dirt. With many changes going on in construction, I could be writing, grabbing my cell or in a quick meeting so having these fast wipes handy and in a bucket, was a bucket of an idea!

Zonas Porous Tape 1 inch 12pk

Zonas Porous Tape 1 inch 12pkWe breed Doberman Pinschers and tape cropped ears on all our puppies. Zonas tape is the only tape we use because it's the healthiest. If you try to use regular bandage tape it won't allow the ear skin to breathe thereby causing infection to set-in and you end up with a very sick puppy! Never use anything other than Zonas for ears!!

I'm an avid tennis player and frequently need to tape up my fingers to prevent blisters or to protect them from getting worse. Most tape that you buy in sporting goods stores comes in 1 1/2" widths which is too wide and they charge up to $5.00 for one roll. This 1" tape is the perfect width and protects quite well and buying it by the box I pay about a third of the price per roll. I'm not sure about other brands but this J & J Zonas tape is the best for sports and my purposes. I highly recommend!!!
