Johnson & Johnson Red Cross First Aid Advanced Healing Adhesive Pads are made from a flexible and absorbent material that acts in place of a scab and encourages fast, natural healing. This unique pad is clinically tested and proven to allow for faster healing than with an ordinary bandage. Designed to stay on for several days, the pad acts like an instant scab to seal in your body's own natural healing fluids and to seal out water, dirt, and germs that can cause infection. A scab may leave behind a noticeable change in the appearance of healed skin, commonly known as a scar. By preventing scab formation, Advanced Healing Adhesive Pads absorb excess moisture to form a white gel cushion over the wound. The gel cushion provides protection from bumping and maintains moisture balance. 4 Sterile Adhesive Pads (7.6 cm X 5.7 cm)
