I keep thinking they might be but I’m still not sure. And also, if they are is it for certain conditions?

@disinfectingwipe Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad you could join in on the discussions. I found the following article that you may like to read about patching.

@disinfectingwipe, can you give us a little more information on your situation? Is the patch for you or someone you are caring for? What is the patch to be used for?
