I know this is a simplistic subject, but we've all dinged a finger and have needed a bandage to stop the flow. Do any of you have a suggestion for an easy to open bandage wrapper when your thumb is throbbing and bleeding? Is any brand easier than the rest? Your offending thumb is preventing you from using that hand effectively to assist in getting the wrapper open so you end up using the good hand and your teeth. All of this goes on when you aren't in the best of moods.
Had it happen to me this afternoon. I found out a T15 Torx driver bit CAN go deep into the side of your thumb if there's enough force. I managed to mangle two bandages into oblivion before I finally got one unwrapped and useable. By then I had to re-wash and dry the thumb so the bandage would stick. It doesn't hardly hurt now but it was complaining loudly for awhile this afternoon. Jim
