Dimora Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing, 10 Pcs Ultra Thin 4" x 4" Large Patch Bandages with Self-Adhesive, Fast Healing for Bedsore, Burn, Blister, Acne Care, Sterile and Waterproof

These work so well, wish I had discovered them years ago. Great on road rash and really any cut you get. Pain free, easy to put on, cut to size and they stay in place no matter where you put them, including palms.

I had a pressure ulcer on my ankle presumably from ill-fitting shoes that just wasn’t getting better with over two months of traditional wound care. I did some research and turned out I had some slough in the wound (mine was like a yellowish drainage that was too thin to be pus), and one of the solutions I kept coming across for treatment of slough was hydrocolloid bandages. Apparently slough interferes with your body’s ability to heal a wound and it won’t get better without the slough being debrided, and hydrocolloid bandages promote your body being able to do something called “autolytic debridement” which I guess is where your body uses enzymes to break down the slough. Good stuff! Well anyway nothing else was working so I gave these a try, figuring what did I have to lose? Yes they’re a bit expensive but I was able to cut them in half which helped. I’m happy to report that after just a month and a half of using these, on what was a Stage 3 pressure ulcer, the wound has FINALLY completely closed and the ulcer is nearly all the way healed!! I have no doubt these are to thank for that considering I was trying so many other things (regular bandages, gauze, ointments, antibacterial ointments), none of which worked for over two months during which time the wound actually got progressively worse. Some tips I’d like to share (since I used these for so long, I’ve definitely come to know a few): 1) Use the .3 mm if your wound is on a joint area, use the .5 if it isn’t. Mine was by my ankle and at first I was trying to use the thicker ones and kept getting frustrated at how hard it was to get them to stay stuck on. Once I switched to the thinner ones, they still came off every now and then (mostly if I tried to apply them when my skin wasn’t completely dry yet), but for the most part they stayed on much better. 2) Just because you can keep these on for several days without changing them, doesn’t mean you’ll be able to. Personally the wound I was dealing with had a LOT of drainage, especially at first, and something I came to notice is if I left the bandage on too long without changing it with a lot of drainage, it would start itching and feel very uncomfortable. Changing them more frequently helped tremendously. I actually had to change mine more or less every day. Expensive, yes, but more comfortable. 3) Wear these while bathing or showering, especially at first. I would always just clean my wound and change the bandage after bathing for the day. The reason being is I found the soaps/bath liquids and other things irritated the wound. Wearing the bandage in helped protect it from that discomfort. Eventually when it started to get a little better I would take the bandage off for showers only and just made sure to keep any soap suds away from the area. 4) Honestly there were stages of the wound healing that were just painful sometimes. These bandages reduced the pain some, but there were phases in healing where I had some discomfort no matter what. Dabbing a little lidocaine liquid or triple antibiotic ointment with numbing before putting on the dressing helped with this quite a bit. So did making sure to wipe off any extra gel adhesive that built up around the wound (idk if it’s true for everyone but when it built up that gel was a little irritating to my skin). Anyway, I think that’s about it! Long read but I hope it helps someone else: I can’t even begin to share how ecstatic I am that for the first time in months the skin by my ankle is finally completely intact, ALL thanks to these bandages. So I just had to come on here and tell everyone else how great these are!

These are great bandages for my HS flare ups. I was using just regular band aides which don’t keep bacteria out of the wound, but these actually help heal the HS! Glad I purchased these!

I had a major abdominal surgery recently. I found these to be very helpful! I tend to not heal well and when I have incisions they tend to open up on me and not heal right. I cant do band aids or any kind of medical tape as it tears my skin and leaves huge rashes and sores. This is adhesive, but it worked great for me. I just put it on and it blend in with your skin and draws out the gunk from your wound. You can keep them on for 2 days, and the best way I found to get them off is in a hot shower and gently peel it off in small steps. Never tore up my skin and made me heal so much faster

They do not stick to your skin tightly so any dressing you put over them needs to be done with caution to keep the dressing in place.

I've been using these Dimora hydrocolloid dressings as part of my occlusive therapy routine, and they’ve worked extremely well. The 4" x 4" size is ideal — large enough to cover problem areas without needing to overlap multiple patches. They're also impressively thin, which makes them very comfortable to wear under clothing or even overnight without bunching or peeling. The self-adhesive backing is strong without being harsh on the skin. They stick securely for hours (even up to 24 hours in my case) but remove easily and cleanly without irritation or residue. The thin profile also helps reduce visibility if worn in noticeable areas. These dressings have helped create a moist healing environment, which has noticeably improved my skin texture and healing time. Whether you're using them for wound care, acne, or general barrier treatment, I highly recommend this product. Great quality and value for a 20-pack.

Great product if you want to use for more than an hour swimming especially if covering close to joints remove body hair before applying

The adhesive won’t stick to wounds, but it won’t stick to skin either. It does stick to peel-aways strongly, which can cause the bandage to buckle and stick to itself. Even trying to slowly pre-peel toward the edges doesn’t work as folds or sticks back to the peel. It does absorb and can easily be overwhelmed by a wound as large as the pad. This is the thinner version of this product and more for keeping a wound moist and protected than stopping leaks. In contrast, it can also dry out, particularly at the edges, on joints, or where there’s flexing. When it dries it constricts and can pull at the wound or allow the gelled exudate to dry into the wound and tear it upon removal. I recommend securing this product with a larger bandage, tape, wrap or a compression covering (e.g. spandex or tetranet). While it can be cut to shape, the adhesive causes problems. Cutting with the peel can make it difficult to remove the peel, and cutting without risks the bandage sticking to the scissors or itself. Oddly, the packaging for the 20-pack is twice as large as the 15.

These have worked well for me as a general replacement for bandaids. They are tough, conformal, and sticky, so they work well even in ordinarily really tough areas to use normal bandaids. I'm talking the creases of the fingers, elbows, etc. You do need to give them time, as it can feel like wounds are healing slowly underneath (because they don't really scab with these) but when they finish healing they are usually well-restored with healthy skin and minimal marking.

Muy buen producto
