Abstract
A stable and less voluminous nail dressing is required after nail surgery over the nail unit. The bandage should take care of trauma, water and discharge from the wound. We described the use of two layered non-sticky and absorptive bandages. It was cut into dumbbell shape and wrapped over the toe with a nail, and tied at the base of the toe with moderate pressure. To observe the toe, a window is made in the center of the bandage.
