All Health Waterproof Transparent Dressing & Pad, Dressings, 2.375 in X 4 in | Wound Cover Barrier to Staph & MRSA, 10 Count

These are amazing. My grandmother had hip surgery and had a small area that opened up weeks after surgery while at rehab. When I got her home, I knew I needed a bandage that wouldn’t rip her skin off. I have literally 15 different types of bandages and they have all ripped her skin. These stick really well, lasted through shower and didn’t rip her skin off when changed. If I could give 10 stars I would. They are very friendly to sensitive skin or “elderly skin.”

I was provided a similar product by 3M and they are absolutely perfect…effective, easy to use, durable. However, they are very expensive. These were recommended to me as an alternative and I’m happy with the results. Large enough to coverage a large area, easy to put on, and they are fully water proof. I don’t think they would last past a couple of days, but then again, you shouldn’t have a bandaid on that long. And these come with the same amount as 3M in the package at literally a third of the price.

I’ve got a family member who is allergic to pretty much every drugstore carried self-adhesive bandage known to man. We used to think it was some kind of reaction to latex; after seeking out hypoallergenic bandages and still having no luck, I invested in a roll of tegaderm, the stuff they use to tape down stuff on you in the hospital – at least for us, that seems to be okay and not trigger the usual hives type reaction that subsides to lasting marks which look like burns. Maybe it’s the kind of adhesive, I just don’t know. I do know that there are a lot of tegaderm products out there - smaller, precut with gauze pads, but in the past I've only been able to find pretty expensive ones.So, I’ve been making my own DIY bandaids from tegaderm cut to size and gauze sponge cut to size as needed, but this is a lot neater and more sanitary solution. My “patient” had a leg wound that was not healing well with my tegaderm hack, and when I started to use these – maybe because they seal/adhere better than something I have to handle more to construct – it did close up and disappear, fast. I held my breath at first as the package doesn’t indicate what the clear barrier is specifically made of, but – no reaction, yay! Now that’s what science calls “anecdotal” evidence so I wouldn’t take my recommendation without doing my own homework, discussing any issues with Dr., etc. But for my family’s special allergy-based need it’s been a godsend to be able to buy a transparent/tegaderm type prefab dressing at a reasonable price.

Follow directions so you do not end up with something you can't use.Stick it to your skin THEN peel back the paper.

The pad separates easily from the clear dressing. The tegraderm-type outer dressing was also a little thicker and harder to seal than others I've used in the past. These may work better for a wound that doesn't require shaping/moulding of the island dressing. I was unable to use them very easily on my anterior forearm surgical wound.

worked and seems to hold up but dont expect them to be submersible for very long

Would purchase again. 2x4 is a small bandage so I'd recommend double checking what size you need but I was pleased with comfort level and adhesion. It's a very light bandage so you can barely feel it once it's in place yet it protects wound well.

They will NOT come off!!!! I had surgery and the expensive ones at the drug store kept falling off every day so I tried these and they are a game changer for sure.
