Silicone Foam Dressing with Adhesive Border – Wound Dressing Bandage – Silicone Foam Pad – Pack of 10 – 4 x 4 Inches Large Waterproof Bandages – Self Adhesive Wound Care and Dressings

I'm a senior and have been dealing with a stupid & annoying recurring abcess on my upper back on the left since last September. It's not all that big but boy is it difficult to try to hold a hand mirror and aim a bandage onto it. When I use smaller 2 x 3 bandages, which would cover it, I miss my aim many times and end up with the adhesive part covering the wound area. Not good. I have to toss THAT bandage and try again. I finally found these larger bandages that are 4 x 4. They're hypoallergenic. The foam pad is thick & absorbant but way too sticky for my particular wound so I cut a piece of dry guaze and place it against the sticky foam pad before applying the bandage. Works perfect. Otherwise, it would pull open the thin skin in that area and it would never heal. Another thing I especially like about these bandages is, they are water proof. I cannot not let the forceful water from the shower hit this stupid wound or it opens it up and causes it to become inflamed. I'm able to cover it up with one of these bandages and take my shower & shampoo my hair as I normally would and it remains dry. It stays on good adhered condition & I don't have to replace it when I dry off & get dressed. I definitely will purchase again and I recommend. Pretty easy on senior thin skin. Another thing I like is that I see these bandages in this same size at places like Walmart, Target, grocery stores etc. And, the price is always about the same no matter where you purchase them.

Holds very well. Stands up to showering. Protects the wound very well. Comes off easily.

These have become a reliable part of my first-aid supplies.What stands out immediately is the gentle yet secure adhesion provided by the silicone border. Unlike some traditional adhesive bandages that can irritate the surrounding skin upon removal, these come off with minimal discomfort. This is a huge plus, especially for those with sensitive skin or for dressings that need frequent changes.The foam pad itself is nicely absorbent. It effectively manages wound exudate without drying out the wound bed, which is crucial for promoting healing. I've found that these dressings strike a good balance – they're thick enough to provide cushioning and protection but not so bulky that they feel restrictive.Application is straightforward. The adhesive border makes it easy to position the dressing accurately, and it stays in place reasonably well, even with some movement. I appreciate that the silicone layer helps to prevent the dressing from sticking directly to the wound, further minimizing pain during removal.While these dressings perform admirably in most situations, for heavily exuding wounds, more frequent changes might be necessary. Additionally, while the adhesion is generally good, it might not be sufficient for areas with a lot of friction or movement over extended periods.Overall, the Silicone Foam Dressing with Adhesive Border is a high-quality product that offers a comfortable and effective solution for wound care. The gentle silicone adhesion and absorbent foam pad make it a superior alternative to many traditional bandages. I would definitely recommend these for anyone looking for a reliable and skin-friendly wound dressing.

After spending time in the hospital earlier this year, I ended up with a bedsore that just wouldn’t quit. My home health care nurse suggested a name-brand bandage, but those were getting pricey fast, so I decided to give these Silicone Foam Dressings a try. Let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised! They have a similar quality to the expensive ones, and while they don’t always stick quite as well, they still do the job.I had never used these types of bandages on my own before, so I was a little taken aback by how sticky they are in the middle, even where there’s gauze. Don’t panic, it’s normal! These bandages are designed this way, and it actually helps with the healing process.The size I got was perfect for my wound, but they come in different sizes depending on your needs, so you’re covered there. Just a heads up though, these aren’t waterproof (I checked the description before buying, so I knew), so if you're planning to go swimming or take a shower, you might want to look for something else. But for everyday wear and tear, they hold up just fine, even with a little sweat.The best part is the price! These are affordable compared to other options, and I’d absolutely recommend them if you're looking for a budget-friendly way to help wounds heal. You can’t go wrong here!

Did not stay on long at all.Found a different one with wider adhesive that does better
