The foam friend: a useful penile bandage in children.

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.
