cooked Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yesterday I fell over while running (not sure how that happened) and of course managed to skilfully remove skin from my knees and hands. Not a bad event but I wanted to close the wounds with suitably sized bandaids. A universal "mai mee, don't have in Thailand", all they have is these cute little plasters that will just about wrap around your finger. I also spent a fair amount of time on Lazada, nothing. What I want is a long continuous strip which I can cut off at the size I want. Any ideas? I already have a spray on plaster, which is painful to apply on a large wound and doesn't remain for long. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vogie Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Surely a decent chemist would stock such items. I live near Sattahip and the chemist there has every plaster known to man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Flxomull stretch is available just about anywhere (not cheap however) and you can use gauze pad or cotton under it. Holds up to water well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritManToo Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I just use the yellow antiseptic, gauze and strips of surgical tape, available in every 7-11 and Tesco Lotus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Nexcare has larger bandaids (about the size of a woman's palm) and can usually find in 7-11. If this too is too small then you have to use gauze and tape.Sent from my SM-J701F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 the stuff that lopburi3 has in his post is used to dress larger surgical wounds and for the first few weeks the hosp likes to dress it themselves as an out patient to monitor the healing...they usually got plenty and the gauze for the patient to take home later on... for most other things I find that the 'tigerplast' elastic fabric strip bandages available at 7 - 11 are suitable for most purposes...other cleaning/dressing materials like alcohol and iodine available most everywhere...
