Guest Idea 7: Textured Band-Aids
OK, guest idea No. 7 time. And this one comes from Ciaran Rogers in the States (New York I believe). A good practical way of helping out millions of people. So quite unlike an al-qaeda blog then.
Anyway, over to Ciaran:
"I had an idea this morning, though I would be surprised if no one has acted on it. I cut my thumb sitting at my desk, and had to apply a band-aid. This band-aid has left me with no traction whatsoever, and it’s been a struggle all day long thumbing through papers etc. Why take the special finger band aids (which I believe are made already), and create textures either on the finger print area or the whole band aid itself? It would be a cool looking design edition and with obvious functional benefits.
By textures I mean raised ridges on the outside of the band aid that would aid in one’s ability to grip. Instead of the ridged pattern in the picture (these things are called finger pads or finger cots), I was thinking that the band aids could be patterned in all different ways."
Cheers for that Ciaran. Keep them coming.
