I've just read a couple of posts mentioning SureSeal bandages. At my clinic they have the tape locked up on a chain and they have to tear off long strips of tape and go around and tear off 5" strips and stick'm to the side tables then distribute little stacks of 2x2s. Which they fold and put on the site and then put the little strips of tape on and then we have to hold the sites for 5 - 10 min. Or they have these big clamps that many of us aren't allowed to use for one reason or another. In my case I'm suposedly healthy enough to hold my site so I'm not allowed to use the clamps. Recently, I've been coming off at 95/58 or lower so I've not been able to hold and stand for standing so after getting off dialysis I have to sit there long before going over to weigh. I'm thinking that they are either just to cheap to buy sureseal pressure bandages or they don't know about them. I wonder if I should either just go buy some or maybe ask them if they know about them, or if there's something intrinsically wrong with them, making them impractical.
After noticing things written about them here at I hate, I went on the web and looked'm up and their all over the web, they don't have'm at Walgreen's. If they had'm at the local drugstore, I would buy some. I hate to get things over the internet and have to wait and then have it be the wrong thing and have to send it back and wait some more and bla bla bla
Tell me about sureseal pressure bandage,xl. Do they work? I'd hate to buy something that doesn't really work. I hate the idea of getting something really cool that does work just for myself. But I'd do it. If we just had'm in the clinic, for general use for everybody, It seams that It would save a lot of effort and a lot of tape that they seem to want to save anyway, It would cut down alot on 2x2s as well. What do you think?
