Merino Wool Bandages, Outdoor Pack, 12 x Regular, 3 x Extra Large, Wool Aid
WoolAid Outdoor Pack — 15 medical grade merino wool bandages that are naturally biodegradable, breathable and free from forever chemicals. Protection where it counts. Why Our outdoor pack is essential for quick missions, misaimed cheese graters and those damn blisters. Unlike conventional plastic bandages, WoolAid is made from medical grade merino wool — naturally biodegradable, comfortable, breathable and free from forever chemicals. Merino wool breathes naturally, manages moisture, and resists odour build-up, so bandages stay comfortable and fresher for longer than plastic alternatives. Each pack contains 12 Regular and 3 XL bandages — 15 total. Key Benefits Medical grade merino wool — naturally biodegradable and free from forever chemicals Breathable and moisture-managing for extended comfortable wear Natural odour resistance keeps bandages fresher longer Suitable for minor cuts, scrapes, blisters and abrasions Pack contains 12 Regular + 3 XL bandages (15 total) Before You Apply Clean the wound thoroughly. Rinse the affected area under clean running water to remove any dirt, debris or foreign material. If available, use a mild antiseptic solution. Pat the surrounding skin dry with a clean cloth or towel. The adhesive will not stick properly to wet, oily or dirty skin. For deeper cuts, puncture wounds, animal bites or wounds that will not stop bleeding, seek medical attention rather than applying a bandage at home. How To Apply Wash and dry your hands before handling the bandage. Open the bandage wrapper and remove the bandage without touching the absorbent pad in the centre. Peel back the protective liners from the adhesive strips on each side. Place the absorbent pad directly over the wound, ensuring it fully covers the affected area. Press the adhesive strips down firmly on either side, smoothing them onto the surrounding skin to create a secure hold. Run your finger along the edges of the bandage to ensure it is seated against the skin. While Wearing Check the bandage periodically. If it becomes wet, soiled or begins to peel away, replace it with a fresh bandage. Because merino wool breathes naturally and manages moisture, you may find WoolAid bandages stay comfortable for longer than plastic alternatives. The wool fibre also resists odour build-up, so the bandage stays fresher during extended wear. How To Remove When you are ready to change or remove the bandage, gently lift one edge and slowly peel it back along the skin. If the bandage feels firmly adhered, dampen it with warm water for a few seconds to help loosen the adhesive before removing. Do not rip the bandage off quickly, as this can irritate the skin or disturb the wound. About WoolAid WoolAid was born from a deep connection to New Zealand’s High Country and the wonders of merino wool. As a schoolboy, founder Lucas worked holidays as a Stockman on New Zealand’s High Country Stations, helping produce superfine merino wool and watching it supply everyone from outdoor clothing companies to luxury fashion houses. After a brief stint at university, Lucas found himself mountain guiding on the Milford and Routeburn Tracks — crossing through Fiordland National Park, 3.1 million acres of awesomely inhospitable country. Only 90 people a day are permitted on the Milford Track, and those lucky enough to make the trailhead all had good reasons for wanting five days in the mountains: honeymoons, reunions, space from it all. But many new boots met the trail, and by lunchtime on the second day, blisters had become the main focus — not the mountains. The answer at the time was a plastic bandage. Plastic doesn’t stand up well to Fiordland National Park standards — constantly sweating off, inadequate for the job at hand, and often littered on the trail. Meanwhile, merino wool was already proven on the skin through outdoor clothing. The question that changed everything: why was nobody making bandage material from merino wool? WoolAid was the answer. Warnings Consult a healthcare professional if the wound shows signs of infection such as increasing redness, swelling, warmth, pus or an unusual odour. Seek medical attention if bleeding does not stop, if the wound is deep or jagged, or if it was caused by a rusty or dirty object. WoolAid bandages are intended for minor cuts, scrapes, blisters and abrasions. They are not a substitute for professional medical treatment of serious injuries.
