I can highly recommend hydrocolloid plasters for the onboard pharmacy. They are ideal for cruisers as they seal off a (clean uninfected) wound perfectly from dirt, flies, bacteria and you can even go snorkeling with them. They were readily available in French Poly, but not in Fiji or Vanuatu and even in Austria I had to order them at the pharmacy and the ones I got there weren’t as waterproof. When I was in Australia 2 weeks ago I stocked up on the brand we remembered from Fr Poly: Duoderm–they are waterproof for hours of snorkeling and feel just like a second layer of skin…
After I removed the stitches from my knee 2 weeks after surgery, I put such a hydrocolloid plaster on the scar and when it came off a week later, the scar had fully healed underneath that protective layer. I took that pic yesterday, exactly 3 weeks after surgery
