Early in the day, Bo Hoefinger’s owners dropped him off at their dog-sitters house while they ran errands for the day. Their dog, Bo, took the opportunity to explore the open meadow and run in the woods until he was exhausted. However, on this day things were going to take a turn from the norm.

A friend of mine, who happens to be an avid hunter, always keeps a few in his truck. When I asked him why, he said they are the best compression bandages money can buy.

Many years ago, at Mt. Hebo Air Force Station, Oregon, we had to send a young airman to the commissary to buy up every box of feminine hygiene product available.

They were a perfect fit for the inside of the waveguide, on a high power radar system, that had gotten flooded with coolant water.

When one end was tied with a string, they could be pulled through the waveguide sections, drying them out quickly.

This enabled us to return a critical Sea Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) Detection and Warning system back to operation.

Of course, the young airman took some teasing about coming to the checkout with every box of product in the (small) commissary in his cart.

One of our crew's wife was working the checkout that day and he had called her with a heads up, so she held her teasing to a minimum.

Anyone who ever took a safety course or CPR course with first aid associated with it knows this. This product is just what it says it is, sanitary and is good for wound care in the absence of other bandages.

My mother tied one around a bleeding cut on my brother’s foot...worked beautifully.

We keep them in the horses’ first aid kits. They’re nicely packaged to remain sterile. .. EquineElite Wound Relief, vet wrap and sterile pads is usually all we need.
