Band-Aid Modifcation to Improve Flexibility and Keep Them On!
I find this modification very useful for getting Adhesive Bandages to stick to fingers, especially fingertips.
Yes they make special ones, but standard shape/size ones are more common, and these work great!
This idea may be from a Japanese show called "Urawaza", lifehacker and gizmodo had a youtube link but its gone!.

There Is Really Only 2 Steps for This Mod, Cut It, and Put It On.
Take some sharp scissors, and a Band-Aid
You can cut the band-aid in the wrapper or out of it. probably cleaner/safer to do it in the wrapper.
Cut to the pad on both wings of the band aid, like the first photo(im flexing it to show the cuts)

Apply!
in this case I'm working with a fingertip wound, these also work well on Knuckles and even on legs and knees elbows, although they are best on fingertips and fingers.
In this case i place the finger with the wound centered on the pad, wrap 2 legs around the finger.
then fold the pad down and wrap the other 2 legs back around to make a nice little cup of bandaid.
when using them on a finger or Knuckle its handy to weave the legs, wrap one a then do the one on the opposite corner, and then the other two.
for as little flesh as is wrapped it stays on well, and protects my cut from bumps.
