Hi Anagra,

What properties do you want to specifically test? Things such as general adhesiveness to the skin, absorption properties, if the material will not stick to the actual wound itself? What you could do though is test the bandage on a solution that has a slightly thicker viscosity than water, maybe something like a sucrose solution. You could spread some of the solution on a small area on your skin and wrap the bandage around it to try it out. This will let you know if the bandage adheres well to the skin, but also if it absorbs fluids well.

Let us know if you have further questions and we will be happy to help.
