Wound Care & First Aid Products

Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Brand continues to bring exceptional technology to its first aid products to meet your needs For example:

Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Hospital Grade Non-Stick Pads are more than 70% thicker and 60% more absorbent than other non-stick pads. Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Waterproof Tape also provides superior adhesion in comparison to leading store brand waterproof tapes.

To see what we mean, take a minute to view two short videos related to our first aid products and judge the Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Brand Difference for yourself. They demonstrate both the superior absorbency of Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Triple Layer Pads, and the superior adhesion level of Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Waterproof Tape after 15 minutes of immersion in hot soapy water.

The first video compares the absorbency of a Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Triple Layer Non-Stick Pad to another commercial non-stick pad. In this experiment, a small amount of water containing a blue colorant for ease of viewing is poured over both products. As you can see, the Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Triple Layer Non-Stick Pad absorbs all of the water within seconds, unlike the other commercial non-stick pad which leaves unabsorbed water behind.

In the second video, a man wears Johnson and Johnson RED CROSS^® Waterproof Tape on one hand, and another commercial waterproof tape on the other hand. In this experiment, the man soaks his hands in hot soapy water and, after 15 minutes, the Johnson and Johnson RED CROSS^® Waterproof Tape is still observed to be sticking to his hand while the other commercial waterproof tape floats off.

Other Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Brand Wound Care Products are leaders in their product categories as well:

Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Brand Hospital Grade Gauze Pads are two times thicker and offer up to three times the absorption of competing first aid cover products.

Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Rolled Gauze is number one in thickness and absorbency compared to leading store brand rolled gauze. It is approximately 30% thicker and up to 80% more absorbent than these competitors.

As you can see, Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS^® Brand Products provide the quality demanded by you and your doctor for the best care possible throughout your healing process.
