Now Playing Tracks

I have anxiety with large groups. I went to someone I care abouts graduation today and I was so mad at myself that I couldn’t focus on why I was there. My heart was pounding out of my chest for the hour and ahalf that I was there. My mom nagged at me for being so unfriendly. For the 87392742983428 time I told her what was wrong and her response once again was “why would you have that? That doesn’t make any sense! You moved to NY and loved it there!!!” She has never excepted the fact that I have legit problems with certain things. But this always bugs me. I come from the south in a fairly small town where you fuck up once and you hear about it for years to come. NYC on the other hand, yeah 10X the people but not one gives two fucks about you. Everyone there has blinders and if just trying to get where they’re going. Its so fast paced that no one has time for that shit.

AmoeBAND became a 2012 IDEA Award Finalist by innovating every possible aspect of the plaster (band aid).

The design revisions were:  

- Strategic cut-outs shape to fit fingers in such a way that it is easy to bend them and not disrupt the bandage.

- An intelligent dressing material allows you to regularly check wounds from the outside, without upsetting the healing process.“According to research, the when an infection of a wound is detected, the pH value is between 6.5 and 8.5. AmoeBAND’s indicator cross turns purple, alerting the user needs to change it immediately.

- Since the bandage material used exudes a leather-like feel, availability in different skin-tones helps it blend in, without overly highlighting the injury.

- The packaging has been redesigned to a matchbox style and includes Braille instructions.

Not everyone in South America has dark skin, just saying.
Great idea, tho.
