Band-aids Look Like Flesh Wounds, Should Come In Different Skin Tones

gross-bandaids-1

The Boo-Boos Adhesive Bandages are designed by one Sherwood Forlee, and they’re made to look like gnarly wounds. They come in five different ‘flavours’: (from the top) slashing sharp-force trauma (with sutures), chemical burn, skin ulcer with skin slip, decubitus ulcer with maggot infestation, and small caliber gunshot. They’re really tasteful and are likely to get you lots of genuine, non-disgusted compliments from your friends. That’s of course only if your skin tone manages to perfectly match the background color on these. If it doesn’t, then you’ll just look like you stuck a gross Bandaid on your skin.

$10 gets four of each design in 3″ x 0.75″ bandages.

The Pleasure Pressure

I am not a medic, but I do know that if you apply pressure to a wound, the compression generally helps to heal and alleviate the pain. The Anti-compression Bandages has been designed on the lines to help ease out the pain thanks to an external compression integrated within the bandage. It even allows paramedics to monitor the wound safely. I guess the concept can be tested in limited conditions to see if it really works. What do you think?

Anti-compression Bandages is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.
