Quality Matters - Healthcare

One would think that cheap, ordinary haberdashery should be about the same for simple clothing. You are not. When my child recently had a non-trivial injury, we still had bandages and bandages from the hospital. And I had a few things in my own first aid kit. Also, of course, my volunteer rescue team that I work in has bandages. Thing is, my kit, like others, had typical 4x4s etc but not a custom variant. So I went to a well-known retail pharmacy and bought two different types of non-stick and low-stick, not knowing which could be better. They were both bad. That surprised me a little. So I went back to the brand we used at the hospital. Now I have maybe four times more of these things than I need in my personal first aid kit, but this was the cheapest kit I could buy. More importantly, the material works best for its intended purpose. I'm not a wound nurse. Only one parent who also happens to be an EMT. In my decades of experience in the ER industry, I have not had to worry too much about the type of bandage for the intended application. But as a parent and as someone who gets hurt from time to time, I'm glad I know more about the types of bandages now. Bottom line, cheap gear is cheap gear, be it tools, electronics, and probably even plain gauze. I am satisfied with this material and will choose it if we need such a product. (Mostly because I probably - hopefully - have enough to get us through our college years as a kid.)
