[at-l] BioOcclude Dressing {Was Moleskin}

[thornel@attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

I first read this as you wondered about moleskin.

Bio Occlude dressing is a thinner version of Compeed, often used in 
treating surgical and other wounds. It is clear, allows air through, water 
and secretions out, stops bugs from entry and stays in place. I pick it up 
at the local hospital ER and OR when seeing patients and needing to 
replenish the first aid kit.

You use it to prevent a hot spot from becoming a blister, or to cover a 
blister that has been allowed to occur. You wash the area with water and 
perhaps a bit of iodine from Polar Pure, or alcohol / Purell (stings like a 
#@$%^&^$%). Open the packet and apply it over the wound and let it adhere. 
No trimming or other hassle.
