Abstract
PURPOSE: We describe the design and use of our preferred penile bandage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A simple bandage composed of Reston foam (3M, St. Paul, Minnesota), Telfa (Tyco Adhesives, Franklin, Kentucky), gum mastic and tape was used in more than 500 penile procedures in children. RESULTS: The bandage proved to be well tolerated, easily removed by parents and quite effective. CONCLUSIONS: The foam friend is the most useful and problem-free penile bandage that we have used.
