Cushioned waterproof adhesive pads 3 x 4 in 4 Nexcare AWP-34-CA

Nexcare cushioned adhesive pads: waterproof, padded protection

3M manufacturer code: 7000123018, model AWP-34-CA

Nexcare AWP-34-CA pads protect minor wounds with a cushioned foam pad that absorbs fluid without sticking to the wound. The pad is waterproof: you can shower or wash your hands with confidence, water and dirt stay outside. It can be worn for up to four days and its flexible materials stretch to follow skin movement. The 4-count pack of 3 x 4 in pads suits job site kits, where scrapes and cuts on materials call for more generous protection than a standard bandage.
