Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 I found this: http://woundcareshop.safeshopper.com/612/4413.htm?487 How much do you need? I may be able to send some to you. Noelle (12-2-01) Ian (8-15-04) Adhesive Moleskin I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get adhesive moleskin for my daughter's cast. I've called all the locations around us & can't find any. We live in Arkansas. I've called the doctor & left a message w/ them asking, but I've done it once before & his nurse hasn't called me back. The kind that they gave us at the hospital a month ago was Medfix Adhesive Moleskin 9 in x 4 yds. I've gotten some from the sporting good store, but it's not the right kind & doesn't protect as good. It's called Kramer Moleskin. Thanks for any help I can get. Quote
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 HI! In a pinch, Dr. Scholl's makes some for blisters. Have you tried a medical supply house or contacting 3M? I wish I had better answers for you. One way to avoid this in future though: While still at Shriner's I would petal her cast, ask for enough moleskin to bring home in case I had to do it again. I would also take fabric and Mod Podge to the hospital with us. I would then decoupage her cast as soon as it was dry. Applly a layer of Mod Podge to the back of the fabric strips, apply to the cast and then coat the top of the fabric strip. Once you have all the strips applied do a final coat of Mod Podge. This serves a couple of purposes. One, the moleskin can't come off, two, you somewhat protect the cast from spit up,spills, vomit, etc. This makes it very easy to wipe clean. It also helps protect skin and clothing from the abrasive fiberglass. Have you tried contacting a local orthtist or orthopaedist for moleskin? Just a few thoughts, hope something helps.
