Dimora Hydrocolloid Adhesive Bandage, Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing Thin Type 4'' x 4'', Individually Sterile Packed Hydrocolloid Patches, Box of 10 Dressings

I love using hydrocolloid bandages, and after a recent surgery I needed some for my incision that are 2"x4" and I couldn't find them locally, so I bought these in the 4"x4" size. I cut them in half and rounded all the corners with regular scissors (rounding them helps them not come up at the corner) to get the size I needed.I've seen reviews that say they don't stick, but I've not experienced that at all. I've used three of them now, and each lasted for a whole week before I removed it (and it wasn't even coming off after a week, it was just due to be changed).You need to do two things to get them to stick well. First, YOU HAVE TO WARM UP THE BANDAGE before applying -- put it in a pocket (close to your skin) or sit on it or hold it between your hands to get it fully warmed up. Then while it's warming up, you can prepare the wound area. Wash and rinse the area well, and if possible also clean around the wound (not the wound itself) with rubbing alcohol -- this will remove any moisturizing agents that the soap might have left on your skin.When applying the bandage, peel off just one half of the backing and position the bandage over the wound without touching the adhesive area. When you have it in place, peel off the rest of the backing and press the bandage down as you go, making sure you don't have any bubbles of air. Then hold your hand over the bandage for a few more seconds, letting the heat from your hand activate the adhesive.One thing you cannot do with this type of bandage is use ointments or creams -- that will cause it to not stick.I'm a nurse who works in a hospital, so I get very hot and sweaty during my 12-hour shifts, and these bandages still stay on for a whole week.If you're looking for something thick to cushion an area to prevent pressure ulcers / bed sores, this is the thinner version of a hydrocolloid dressing. It's comparable to the THIN version of DuoDERM, not the normal DuoDERM. It would still be a great dressing for a pressure ulcer to heal up, as long as the source of the pressure has been removed already. But if the area in question is still subject to pressure, you'll be better off with the full-thickness version that can also offer cushioning, not this thinner version that is more for just healing.

works for me

These helped me to heal real well!!! I would definitely purchase again if needed.

Suffering from an Ultravenous leg ulcer, so i ordered it to see if it would help keep ulcer moist to heal and protect the wound. I like the fact that i could shower with it on unlike wrapping it in Unna boot and adhesive bandages. Helped alleviate a little soreness around the opening but it did cause the wound to open a little further on my second dressing as of last night so trying to be patient. I’ll add another review if indeed it does help speed up the healing process

This stuff is awesome. Cut it to the size you need, and place it over a cut, sore, zit, or any infected area, and it magically draws out the infection. A must for every household.

Bought these to cover a 2 x 3 inch spot of road rash from motorcycle accident that was around my belt line. Started using day 3 or 4 after the accident. They worked great and allowed me to wear paints and not fear that the bandage would move or come loose. They never moved and allowed my clothes to slide over the road rash easily. They are a good size and every adhesive. Used antibiotic cream on the road rash area and it came right off when removing. However, i would recommend cutting to a smaller size with only a half inch over lap as they suck great to my non damaged skin and was a little painful to get off the first couple times when i used the whole bandage at once.

I usually get a different brand from Walmart but got these as I was already ordering other stuff. These bandages are too thin for my application. I have a pressure sore near my panty line on my thigh so I’m sitting on it all the time. I have limited mobility so I’mAlways sitting or laying. This bandage stretched, rolled up, left so much sticky gunk everywhere that was hard to get off my skin. All this together caused my pressure sore to become worse. This thin light bandage might be good for wounds that won’t have to stand up to pressure like sitting.

The bandage does not need to be removed once placed. It allows the skin to be protected and gives it a longer time to heal without any damage or pain to the skin by constantly changing it. The healing time is reduced by using this method.

Los adquirí para el tratamiento de una persona mayor en una herida que tenía y le han sido de mucha utilidad, excelente calidad, los volvería a comprar
