When your little one has a boo boo, a bandage (and a kiss) always seems to make it better. Removing that bandage is another story. Nexcare has just unveiled a new line of bandages featuring a silicone adhesive for long-lasting hold and pain-free removal.
A survey conducted by Atomik Research on behalf of Nexcare found that caring for minor injuries at home is impacted by painful bandage removal. As many as one in three Americans avoid wearing bandages because of the pain of removal. The survey also found that parents tend to leave a bandage on their child longer than necessary because of the child’s fear of removal.
“Painful bandage removals have been the norm for far too long,” said Peter Berens, Nexcare™ Global Brand Leader. “Consumers around the world create all kinds of workarounds and tricks to avoid an unpleasant bandage removal experience. Our all-new Nexcare™ Duo product introduces bandages as they should be – secure, flexible, and as easy to remove as they are to apply.”
The silicone adhesive was designed by 3M scientists to provide all-day hold and pain-free removal all while protecting minor cuts, burns and scratches.
