The Bandage (Sterilized) is a clean Bandage soaked in alcohol or treated with water. It covers wounds and burns and also guards them against infection.
It suits any survivor who wants the safest care for a wound. It keeps a wound covered just as long as a plain Bandage. A skilled medic makes it last longer still. Its strength is the extra protection against infection. It also helps an infected wound recover. Its cost is a little alcohol or water and a moment of crafting.
The sterilised Bandage is made rather than found. The Disinfect Rag and Disinfect Bandage recipes turn a plain Bandage into one. The Doctor is the best occupation for bandages. It starts with the most First Aid skill. The Nurse and the Park Ranger also start with some First Aid skill.
How to Use Bandage (Sterilized)
The Bandage (Sterilized) sits under two health panel options. Bandage covers a cut, scratch, bite or other open wound. Clean Burn treats a burn.
Bandaging is the last step in caring for a wound. Glass or a bullet comes out first, then the wound is disinfected and stitched if deep. The sterilised Bandage goes on top and keeps working against infection while it stays clean.
A plain Bandage holds the wound just as long, while the sterilised one adds the guard against infection. The Rag (Sterilized) is made the same way from a Rag. The Bandage - Adhesive covers only small scratches for a short time.
The Disinfect Rag recipe soaks a Bandage in Rubbing Alcohol, Vodka or Whiskey. The Disinfect Bandage recipe uses water instead and keeps the tool it needs.
Upkeep
The sterilised Bandage turns dirty at the same pace as a plain one. When it comes off, it leaves a Bandage (Dirty). The Clean Bandage recipe washes that back into a plain Bandage. One more pass through Disinfect Rag or Disinfect Bandage makes it sterile again. A small stock can last a long time this way.
