, Scrapes And Cover-Ups - Canadians and Bandages
by: News Canada
(NC)-Canadians have a lot to learn when it comes to the proper treatment of minor wounds. A recent Ipsos Reid survey commissioned by BAND-AID® Brand dispels the myths held by millions of Canadians and sheds light on the proper procedures to follow when caring for minor cuts and scrapes.
The survey also highlights some other interesting facts, such as what are some of the strangest places people have applied bandages to on their bodies and which Canadian athlete could most use a lifetime supply of bandages? Here's what Canadians have to say:
Toronto Maple Leaf tough guy Tie Domi was the overwhelming choice as the Canadian athlete who could most use a lifetime supply of bandages with almost one-third of the vote (32 per cent).
Domi was followed by ex-pat boxer and world Heavy Weight Champion Lennox Lewis
(17 per cent) and Doug Gilmour (16 per cent) of the Montreal Canadiens.
Hands are the most common place on the body for Canadians to get a cut or scrape (73 per cent).
Surprisingly, one per cent of Canadians surveyed revealed that they don't get cuts or scrapes. Talk about having thick skin!
Some of the oddest parts of the body that Canadians have applied a bandage to include the rear end, the ear and the nose. Makes you wonder what these people were doing at the time!
In addition, the survey revealed that a staggering 88 per cent of Canadians incorrectly believe that a wound heals best when left uncovered to 'breathe' or air out and that 92 per cent mistakenly think scabs are a healthy part of the healing process.
Scabs actually impede the healing process by creating a barrier between healthy skin cells. The cells have to work their way under the scab in order to form new tissue and heal. Scabs can also be easily torn or scratched, causing re-injury.
The best way to protect a wound is to cover it with a bandage until fully healed. Bandages that absorb a wounds fluid and maintain a natural moisture balance are ideal for healing and enables skin cells to migrate together to form new tissue.
