Well, it does sound wonderful. Could be bollocks, though. There is spray collodion aka nitrocellulose. It's just old-school molecules, though. I love Band-Air

There is spray collodion aka nitrocellulose. It's just old-school molecules, though.
I love Band-Air Hydro Seal (hydrocolloid) bandages and 3M Tegaderm film. They work far better than absorbent bandages.
I once stuck a finger in a running high-speed axial fan. Maybe 2-3 mm got shredded. So I just wrapped the fingertip with hydrocolloid bandages, and forgot about it. Maybe two weeks later, it had completely healed, with no scar.
- chromeguy66 7y agoDo you still feel touch the way you used to?
- mirimir 7y agoYes, totally. It wasn't that much, really. And very little flesh was actually missing. Just cut in ragged ways. So I just trimmed off the shattered nail, washed with warm water, and then peroxide. After patting dry with sterile gauze, I applied two small hydroseal bandages. First around the dorsal (nail) side, and then around the ventral side, with a little overlap. I used a small Skin-Flex bandage, with the gauze pad removed, to prevent the hydroseal bandages from coming off. And used methyl methacrylate to glue the end of the outer bandage.
