Rescue Essentials - 3M Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing - 4" x 4 3/4" - 10 Count (Pack of 1), White, Green

Good number of transparent dressings, easy to use for wound care. Good to have on hand in the first aid box, as they seal the skin from dirt and bacteria. These also ‘trick’ the skin into healing up from the wound bed without serial scabbing and deepening the crater. They can be left in place for up to 7 days. If it is pooling liquid in it, I used a piece of Telfa cut to fit over the open part first, and then used the clear dressing over it, which though it had to be changed more often, was easier on my skin than the paper tape for holding the dressing in place. Get a good wound care book for reference if you aren’t familiar with it. See your doctor for help if it doesn’t look better in a couple of days, has pus or hard black material (eschar), or smell odd or bad. People who have blood conditions or diabetics should be really careful self treating.

I have been buying this brand patch for over 5 years and I can tell you that you will Never find an adhesive like Rescue Essentials Tegaderm Patches. I use this adhesive to cover my prescription pain patch. It’s important to know that this film does not have the bandage patch in the middle, that’s why I chose them to begin with years ago. When placing it over a medicated patch, you don’t want to add any heat. So a plain film is needed and necessary for me to keep the patch on for a couple of days as prescribed. It doesn’t move-even when wet! No other brand works like this one. This is by far the best product of its kind and my only choice now. It’s well worth the money if you need it. One thing is important to remember. If you want something to stick this incredibly well. It is also going to take some effort to take it off. And for sensitive skin like mine, there will be red marks around it when you remove it. Sometimes my skin burns a little as well, a few hours after I first put it on. And again when I take it off and for a little after. It is necessary for that to happen in my opinion because otherwise it wouldn’t stick. Of all I’ve tried this is simply the best! *A little advise if your skin does get irritated when you first put on. You can spray the skin where you would apply the patch with some antihistamines spray. You then need to wipe it off a little and let it dry before putting the tegaderm on. (I’ve been doing this for years & it was recommended to me)* **Also, use a little lotion or petroleum to rub on the corner of the tegaderm patch when removing! Do not just yank it off, just gently rub a corner with lotion and do it slowly. This will make removal pain free and lessen the red mark when take off. The redness will go away in an hour or so** I hope that helps someone so they don’t have to learn it first hand as I have. Any irritation this product may cause is not enough to keep me from buying it and I have very sensitive skin! The Best hands down! And only here on Amazon will you find this low price!

This stuff is the best. I discovered it years ago as a much better alternative to band-aids. It is not only breathable, it is transparent, so the condition of the wound is always visible and can be monitored (unlike a band-aid). Also unlike a band-aid, it doesn't gap over the wound, but seals directly over the injury as the injury heals under it, completely protected from the environment. A band-aid also tends to form a moist environment, which is counterproductive when one is trying to heal a wound. Tegaderm remains dry against the skin. For such a delicate membrane, it grips tight, and will stay attached even when soaked with water. It doesn't leave an adhesive residue on the skin once removed. The thinness of the membrane assures a snug and smooth fit against the skin, even on areas that are difficult to bandage. For this reason, I find it an exceptional choice for wrapping deep cuts on fingers. When there is a little swelling and redness in a cut, I like to dab on a tiny bit of Manuka honey to help knock down the infection, then wrap in Tegaderm. It works very well. The only downside with Tegaderm is that, due to the thinness of the membrane, it is difficult to work with, and takes practice to wrap over a wound without folding in on itself. I cut strips from a 4 x 4 piece, and get a number of dressings out of one bandage. I will never use band-aids again.

That this is a good product to buy i love it because it helps

Still expensive.

If treating a wound while using a pool as therapy this is the waterproof product that works!!

These are amazing. They stay on and do not pull skin when removing.

work well excellent product much cheaper than buying at cvs

Bonne grandeur, satisfait du produit mais en cherchant un peu, j'ai trouvé un peu moins cher mais sa équivaut le prix en pharmacie, satisfait quand même.

Usé estos parches para detener las gasas que tenía sobre la herida de cirugía de catéter. Primero me sujeté la gasa con micropore de distintos tipos y al quitarlo me lastimaba la herida, además de que me quedaba todo pegosteado. El parche tegaderm me lo ponía sobre la gasa y era muy fácil ponerlo y retirarlo sin molestias, dolor o pegamento embarrado por todos lados. Me ayudó mucho en el proceso de sanación de la herida.

Son una maravilla estos parches!!!!

A Superior product!!! The best for keeping any wound safe and dry from water.

these bandages were used on my husband while he was in the hospital. they are very effective. Have been using them for the last 3 years - prefer them over all other.
