Bandages for a day’s work

Band-Aid Tough-Strips stand up to a full day of hands-on work

Finding a bandage that can stand up to a full day of hands-on work is no easy task. So when I found Tough-Strips, I started telling everybody who would listen. Available in waterproof as well as fiber-reinforced styles (similar to duct tape), Tough-Strips have a super-sticky adhesive surrounding the pad to keep the cut cleaner. To put it simply, these bandages hold on until you are ready to take them off.
