Smith & Nephew 99XX0343 Opsite Plus Waterproof Dressing, 6.5cm x 5cm, Pack of 25

delighted to receive this item as I cannot buy it at home

Does the job

Easy to apply and does exactly what it's supposed to

The image of through box is not accurate, and is likely just a generic picture. The dressings came in a thin small plastic bag. It is likely that there is no box of 25 as the image suggests 20, however these seem to be as expected and stick perfectly fine so far. Perhaps a change in description will help manage expectations around whether these are officially branded. From what I could see they look and feel the same that I received from the hospital. Time will tell 😁

I ordered these after having hand surgery. I needed quite a few as I was going away and I knew I would be having to use alcohol rub frequently which meant I had to avoid getting any in the wound. Also because I am allergic to a lot of adhesives in other types of dressing this is a brand and type that is widely used in the NHS . Being on the palm of my hand I knew that sweating would make it hard to keep a dressing on so I did resort to wrapping micropore tape around my hand to keep the dressing in place. If it was elsewhere on the body I am certain it would have stayed in place very well.

I've used these dressings for over 5 years and when I saw they were available from here, I had to order them.These are to some extent waterproof - when fully emerged in water they aren't waterproof but having a 'quick' shower means ur wound underneath is dry.Also, they are nice and sticky and easy to apply.They arrived in a zip lock plastic bag and were in a good condition. Most importantly they did the job as good as the ones I get from the Chemist.

Was so pleased to find these dressings on sale online. Have skin problems where other dressings, when removed took skin with them enlarging the wound area with each change of dressing. Spoke to health care assistant at GP surgery and was given a few of these to try. They are amazing, easy to apply and don't need changing every day, as some other dressings advise. These stay on, you can shower with them on, and are gentle to remove, and importantly for me do not remove any skin.

Ordered these as they were the ones used by the hospital as additional to cover incision sites. They were great and kept the wounds clean and dry. Would definitely order them again should I need to.
