What is this bandage made out of? Especially the part that touches the wound?

It's like a roll of tape. You get more than enough to last you through more repairs than you will need. I don't know exactly how long it is...and i don't think they make it in clear. It's like a fabric.

Your doctor or nurse should tell you because different wounds need different care. That said, I changed mine twice weekly and it was still adhering fine. It also peeled off easily without pulling my skin.

Im not sure what you mean. The ones I purchased from Amazon were Great! They are like the ones they use for IVs in the hospital. I use it for my daughters sensor a device she has for her diabetes. There is a see a clear window type thing but it only comes off is you take off the whole bandage.

It is made of what seem to be a high grade rubber. I am a big guy and it was very comfortable to use.

Stretchy self-adhering. It does not feel like cloth or elastic or fleece. Some man made product. Great to put over a bandage or pad to hold in place.

It is filled with sterile water. But the way it is made (each sleeve contains little one inch squares or pillows of water) it feels like gel. I had total knee replacement and this little jewel saved my life.

I'm not sure because I haven't taken it apart. I would guess that it's metal, because it's very strong. This brace has really helped me. I still use it sometimes if I've embroidered a lot. I really feel it's a good product.

this is made of a very durable plastic I believe. It works wonderfully tho and cuts thru the toughest of skin and flesh. I have used mine alot!

It is all nylon and velcro closure. I wore it for many weeks without any problems. My thumb healed nicely.

I don't know, but it appears to be a woven nylon. And I believe it will last.

Yes. Its basically the same material as a cloth bandage with elastic and Velcro to hold it into place. The back has metal back braces

Yes, the gauze is kaolin-laced (a clotting agent) roller gauze with a X-Ray strip (can be easily identified by X-Ray imaging). In gauze form though it is more practical to be stuffed into wounds, making it better than the sponge as well as the preferred form by the US Army. (-A US Army 68W Combat Medic)

Absolutely! Goes on even better because you need not stretch it as much to get it over the bandage. I love mine. Felt so good to shower after surgery and not have to worry about water in my wound.

I apologize I measured an Israeli Bandage. Quick Clot answers are correct. Sorry about that.

It seems to be a very heavy duty cloth of some sort. Could be plastic though. Like nylon maybe. It has enough texture to grip a mouse ball if you aren't using an optical mouse. I use at work and like it very much.

Interesting question, do you plan on having one of those injuries soon ? My husband just used this product for the first time about a month ago and he still has some of the product still on his toe !!! Because this material forms such a "cement-type" coverage, I would be concerned about putting enough product on such a large wound. Would it absorb so much blood that it would be dangerous ? I guess it could b removed by a doctor. I think this question needs to be presented to the manufacturer and/or a physician/surgeon. Good luck.
