MedVance Hydrocolloid – Hydrocolloid Adhesive Thin Dressing, 4"x4", Box of 5 dressings

I believe these bandages speed the healing process. Whenever I take one off of a deep healing cut, still filling in, I notice a significant difference [compared to trying to leave off a bandage for a couple of days]. This keeps the wound from drying out so it feels instantly better once I put it on. It keeps the dirt out and is clear enough so you see what is going on [if infection is starting]. On the contrary [to infection]....it seems, if you do have anything getting started on a cut, put one of these in place for several days and it seems to draw out whatever was brewing. I have had itching & irritation, like an infection may have been starting. Then I would clean and prepare the area with a little A & D ointment and possibly a little antibiotic ointment, if appropriate. I would wait a little before trying to apply the new dressing over that. Since I couldn't find the right size "band aid" type dressings, I just used the large dressings. I would cut one in strips [with scissors I purchased for that purpose only] and utilize those. Works great! I will use this type bandage for any future finger/hand cuts, for sure, or any future deeper cuts/wounds anywhere that will take a while to heal. I know to be careful, however. I used a thicker type that caused a skin reaction, so they are not all the same! Ones great for heels might be best for limiting to heels.

About 12 days ago I had scalding hot soup from the microwave spill all down the front of me, leaving second degree burns over much of the front of my torso. The first day I had about 20 blisters. By the next morning I had over 40 and they were huge and painful. I had meds from the ER, but was looking for pads to wear between me and my clothes for comfort while it healed. I ran across these and thought "why not". I am absolutely AMAZED at the healing. I've used them for about 5 days now and (see photo) it's crazy to see what an improvement it's made in just a few days. I'll tell everyone I know about these things, they are so awesome. Comforting, medicated, and I really think they're going to truly minimize scarring! Wow!

tried everything to get a surgical incision to heal and these finally did the trick. Technology is amazing. Pricy but beats a skin graft.

Excellent product

I got these to see if they would work like the cosrx pimple patches on larger areas. They do! They stay on really well through the night and suck up a lot of stuff. They are a tad painful to pull off but its not a big deal, just make sure to avoid any hair you don't want pulled out!

It works well to help promote healing and good protection. Make sure you choose the correct size. Combined with a wound cleaner and if needed a wound cream that promotes healing d protection my wound healed quickly. Easy to remove.

And they’re pretty thin but for the price they still do the job.

It did not adhere as well as other brands I have tried in the past. The corners keep rolling up . It was also a little thinker then I was expecting. When it stayed on it Did do it’s job. I just had to use more of the material to try and keep it on long enough...
