Would this keep a non-stick gauze pad in place on a thumb? The open blister is over the metacarpal bone, 1" long, along the length of it.

I use it on my thumb and forefinger playing golf and also have used it to hold gauze in place on a cut on my arm so it should work fine.

I believe it would. I don't know the size of the pad but whatever size it is, you can completely cover it by overlapping the flexcare if needed and it will be completely occluded. I continue to love this tape! SW

Um...it's not perfect unless it be taped around a toe or a figure. This product may not be the best for your needs...sorry it :(

It should. I personally use it with gauze pads whenever I need to. It really depends on how you wrap it around the area. Hope everything works out well for you. And that your thumb completely heals.

The sticks that hold the bandage as it wraps are 4 1/2 inches wide. My husband's ace bandages are 2 inches, 3 inches and 4 1/4 inches. It works perfect. If I remember right, there were no directions with it, but I figured it out. When my husband rolls them, he does it from a seated position and it goes slower. I stand and do it (all ten bandages) in about 3 minutes! It doesn't work for the cotton batting fiber wraps which we put over the stocking before we wrap his bandages because the cotton sticks together (like cotton balls!) Our bandages are for my husband's lymphedema so we put a cotton sock on first, then the cotton batting, then the compression ace bandages. I think it's one of the best buys I've made! Let me know if you have other questions.

It absorbs the fluids in the blister and the band aid swells up. It's normal if it does fill up in less than a day. I just change it when it needs changing. As it heals the band aid can be left longer. To remove it don't pull up but rather slide it off from the side. The blister or sore will heal right under the special band aid. Good Luck!

I wouldn't recommend this because it is like a clear "see-through" tape that just covers any cuts or any injury and protects it mostly from water or any other liquids. I would put a gauze and put tape around it instead. Hope u heal and hope this helps!

No, it's only designed for the thumb and it's permanently stuck in the thumb position so if you tried to put it on the index, it would be uncomfortable and probably wouldn't wrap around correctly

I will go for NO. It's too big, but in an emergency, one could cut a piece and use it as finger splint.

It keeps the thumb stiff but not well padded. just a velcro strip on outside.

It sores large (fat) rolls of foil and plastic wrap. The zip-locs might not fit as they are tall, not truly square. I've "squished" them in with the opening pointing outward, but it is not a perfect fit.

Short answer is no. I use mine in the ER, on children with big enough thumbs it works well, but small thumbs/fingers aren't picked up by the probe. I have had mine almost a year, use it three nights a week, drop it regularly and it is still great.

Yes. I bought it for my dog when he had a shaved area on his paw from an IV. He did not pull it off, and the area healed quickly because he couldn't lick it. The bandage sticks to itself with no adhesive. I now always have a supply around.

It would definitely cover it completely with room to spare, you would just have to use some tape to close up the open end.

It only sticks to itself. I use to prevent blisters, but I don't wrap my fingers instead I made loops for my fingers and a pad that covers my Palm then it wraps around my wrist. Holds up really well

I only use it on a middle finger. I don't know how it would work on your thumb. if it were me I would use a thumb splint. so sorry I can't be more help to you

It didn't work on mine. I was unable to get it to blister. However, your experience could be different. Good luck!

I'm not sure... sorry that isn't really helpful. It has Velcro that works around the hand of the bob specifically. It's about 20in wide.

Its made to apply to gloves. I didn't have much luck with it so I purchased THUMBDOGS which would probably work better in your case.

Based on the fact that it is in a petroleum form on sterile gauze in a sealed pouch, I wouldn't think so. This product is included in a lot of first aid kits, and essential to most medical tech kits. While I wouldn't buy more than I would ever anticipate being able to use, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase extra if there was a fantastic sale. However, based on the size of your wound/need, I would likely buy smaller sized pads for ordinary use. Once the pouch is opened, it is exposed to air/germs and shouldn't be used from one dressing to the next if exposed to the elements.
