What it’s for

The square that gets pressed on the site for about thirty seconds afterwards, which is the usual way to limit a bruise.

What to check in the listing

Sterile and individually wrapped, not a bulk bag of “clean” squares. 5×5 cm (2×2 in) is plenty; larger just costs more and gets thrown away.
