Customer Reviews of Johnson & Johnson Tough Pads, 4-Count Pads (Pack of 4)
Customer Review: should have gotten stitches, 5 Stars
Yes. I should have gotten stitches. And my actions as described should by no means be taken as medical advice. PLEASE seek the advice of your doctor!I was at an outdoor reception wearing ridiculously high heels and toward the end of the night, as the foot cramps set in, I considered myself safe to let loose a little and take off my heels. I stepped on a piece of a broken wine glass cleverly hidden in the dark of the night and the thick thrush of the grass lawn. The piece of glass cut through my big toe like a hot knife through butter and my sister's sidewalk, garage, kitchen and hallway looked a bit like a murder scene by the time I made it to the bathroom.
As practical as my sister is, she didn't have a very well stocked medicine cabinet. I managed to clean and flush the wound with alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, saline solution and pure clean water. I bandaged it up as well as I could given the supplies. Realistically, I should have gone to urgent care. It legitimately needed 3 to 4 stitches and it was pretty deep. (about an inch and a half around from the under side, inside of my toe to the outside and extending shallowly across the top--probably a quarter to a third of an inch deep at the deepest, which was also for the largest length of the cut) But I'm the sort who only goes to the doctor when I'm sure I am dying.
The next morning I made a trip to the store and bought Tough Pads, Sterile Saline wound wash and Neosporin + Pain (it HURT!:) )
Dressing: Saline wash, Alcohol swab on the surrounding area, Hydrogen Peroxide on the wound itself. Neosporin was applied to the cut flesh only. I allowed the wound to air dry, patted the surrounding area dry with sterile gauze, applied the tough pad and waited three days. (yeah! surprise there too--I did not BELIEVE that 1. it would stay that long through shoes, showers, etc and 2.it wouldn't stick to the wound)
When i removed it after three days, i felt sure that it would stick to the wound and cause all sorts of pain. Nonesuch. I repeated this dressing style three more times every 2 to three days (if i felt the bandage may have been compromised--very important to keep foot wounds clean) and adding those wound care butterfly bandages (cloth stitches if you will) to pull the skin back together. Today is day 14. And i have graduated to cleansing it thoroughly in the evening, applying butterfly bandages and putting on a clean white cotton sock for bed. In the Mornings, I wash it again, reapply butterflies and one of the tough pads to protect from injury, overwork (you have no idea how much work your toes do until you injure one), excess bacteria and exercise. Healing WELL!! And now very rapidly! In another week I should be golden. And I thank the makersTough pads for making this little feat of ingenuity available to the hospitals and doctors available to the public! (side note-- those skeptics of open air VS bandaged healing...should read the new research. I was once a skeptic)
Disclaimer: just because I decided to "tough" it out, doesn't mean YOU should do it. A doctor's advice is always the best advice. They have the best information. Always be aware of increased tenderness (it's going to hurt...but if it hutrs WORSE...), redness or inflammation around the wound are signs of infection, a streak of red moving away from the wound can indicate a more severe infection and you should seek medical attention, any necrosis of tissue (black or dark tissue and a foul odor are common symptoms) you should seek medical care immediately, and if you notice pus (typically greenish or yellowish) this is NOT a sign you should ignore. You should see your doctor.
Disclaimer: I am NOT a doctor. Nor am I any such representative of any sort of professional in the medical field. I just watch a little too much Bear Grylls, have a pretty good concept on wounds, wound care and general health and hate going to the doctor. :)
Best Of Luck.
Kudos J&J (despite your recent recalls and 'scandals")
