Protective Guards

Protective guards are rigid or semi-rigid covers, usually plastic or foam, placed over a bandaged finger, toe, or other small area to shield a healing wound or dressing from bumps, pressure, and moisture during daily activity. They're useful for anyone recovering from a minor injury or procedure who needs to keep using their hands, as well as clinics sending patients home with a protected dressing. Consider size, ventilation, and ease of cleaning when choosing a guard.
