[Pack of 10] Bordered Hydrocolloid Adhesive Bandages 4" x 4" Hydrocolloid Patches, Sterile Large Size Hydrogel Wound Dressing, Fast Healing Pads for Bedsores, Surgical Wound, Zit and Acne Prone

I love the gel and they don’t come loose and fall off like gauze and paper tape. Can barely see them on my skin too.

Muy bueno

I had to try a different brand. I was allergic to the adhesive but otherwise it's a great product.

These are versatile, easy to use and effective bandages. I am assembling several first aid kits for our home and cars, and I have ordered these as well as several other types of dressings for this purpose. These are of high quality. They are fairly heavy for their size (the size with the border is 4" X 4" as indicated on the box, but the contact surface is less, at approximately 3" X 3"). The dressings have good adherence and are flexible but it is recommended to add a secondary bandage in place to keep them in place. They are designed for wounds with mild to moderate drainage and can be left in place for a prolonged period of time (of course, this is dependent on the state of the wound and nature of the exudate). The dressing is very absorbent and the gel helps trap the exudate without interfering with breathability. They are water resistant so can be left in place while showering. The dressings are sterile (each packet is marked sterile, and the sterilization method in this case is radiation). The expiration instruction sheet states that these have a shelf life of up to 5 years if kept sealed in a cool, dry location. The expiration date is marked on the box as well as each individually wrapped dressing (9/2026). The current price of $17.99 for 10 dressings is quite reasonable, making these a good choice for those dealing with a chronic condition.

I have never been inspired to write a review for a bandage before until I got sucked into buying these things. I had several injuries unfortunately that we got to try these out on. One being a burn that it stuck to and peeled off. The very thing that advertises is it doesn’t stick to the wound. The second was a suture line from a dirtbike accident. The wound was dry after painstakingly peeling this thing off not moist like it claims. They advertise that the bandage reacts with the weeping of the wound, which the suture line had but it didn’t at all. The entire bandage is incredibly sticky so as you’re trying to take the bandage off picture it being stuck to everything except the very small, suture line. It tweaks and pulls so hard at the compromised suture line that I had to rub Neosporin as i pulled it and reinforce it with my hand to not tear open my sons sutures. These things are dangerous, and I followed their instructions. What a gimmick.

I use the hydrocolloid pimple patches with great success, so I was excited to see larger patches. These are meant for oozing type sores and won't do much for wounds that aren't open in some way. I thought these hydrocolloid patches were too big at first, but now I think they are very useful to have in the home first aid kit! They each come individually wrapped so I can trust they are sterile.I ended up getting a cluster of bug bites on my forearm that got infected and the patch was the perfect size to cover most of them and prevent me from scratching them. It did help them to heal faster. The adhesion was good and it blended into my skin pretty well... however the waterproof aspect of the patches is a little questionable. The second picture is after taking a shower (I had the patch on for about 24 hours at that point) and the edges did start to peel away. It was still sticking well in the middle so if you have an area that is in the middle of the patch it will still stay protected from water. Don't think it will stay on for days, though, especially if coming in contact with water. Might have to change them out more frequently depending on the severity of the wound... which would make these a bit more pricy if going through a lot of them.I do think these are worth it, though, and definitely a lot better than gauze or large plastic bandages. I would say these are an excellent first aid staple to have on hand... never know when you might need them!

I love these type of bandages. I think I first tried them a long time ago when they made them for blisters. They are just great for any type of skin issue, rash, or cut/scrape.These are great for a large scrape type of injury, like a skinned knee or elbow. If you start with clean skin they should last a few days but honestly it varies depending on your skin oil, your activity level and whether you shower or not. Also where you put them. On a knee that is bending all day will be shorter time, than on your thigh that is not moving or subject to abrasion.I keep them on until they are literally falling off and then if needed I replace with a fresh one. Fantastic for healing. Makes it so you can't pick at or knock a scab off accidentally. Also it provides a sterile environment to keep the wound softened and basically your body does the work to heal it without being subjected to the environment. It's sort of like putting a piece of fake skin over an injury. The wound will release some fluid and it will appear to swell and an injury becomes painless after a short time. (like by the next day if it's a bad one)Love theseThanks for reading my review
