POLYNEW hydrocolloid Dressing Extra Thin

I could not put medicine on and then put Hydrocolloid dressing, The dressing will slid off eventually or roll up. If you put medicine on and let it soak in and then pyt hydrocolloid dressing on it works much better. Because I was using on the palm of my hand and with all the bending, at night I would wear a cotton glove to keep the dressing from rolling and that worked great.The palm of the hand is difficult to bandage and I would give an excellent if it was in a place other than the palm of my hand.

I use this type of bandage all of the time. I thought the price looked good for 12 bandages so I took a chance on trying a new brand. But the adhesive is terrible and I had to use tape to secure it which defeats it's purpose. Just a side note: Product page indicates that it is eligible for return or refund but wasn't. I guess I needed to click that sentence in order to see that it was not eligible. However, Amazon is awesome and they kindly remedied that for me.

Hydrocolloid bandages are typically my miracle bandage. I went with this offbrand to test out the quality. Unfortunately the edges do not stick, which kind of defeats the purpose of the bandage sealing in the wound. I will be returning this.

Hydrocolloid bandages are absolutely amazing. I've been using them for years and make sure to always have some in my medical kit. They can work for anything from a minor scrape to first and second degree burns.This particular pack comes with 12 (4" X 4") bandages which is a pretty large size. I tend to cut the hydrocolloid bandages down to a smaller sizes, which makes the 12 pack well worth the price.A problem I usually have with regular bandages is getting a rash from the glue. These hydrocolloid bandages do not cause any rash on my skin.The only issue I have with hydrocolloid bandages is that they tend to unstick around the border of the bandages, so I tend to need to replace the bandages daily.Overall great large sized bandages that I highly recommend. In the photo's you'll be able to see a burn from a cast iron that I covered up immediately with hydrocolloid bandages and over the course of week or two is almost fully healed.

I have been using a lot of hydrocolloid dressings/bandages ever since I discovered them with Band-Aid Brand Hydro Seal Adhesive Hydrocolloid Gel Bandages. The Band-Aid brand have prevented a lot of scarring, stay on longer and feel very comfortable compared to traditional bandages. But they are super expensive and hard to find in stores. They also don't come in extra large sizes.What I like about these thin hydrocolloid dressings is that they are large and cover a wide area. Plus the price point is less expensive than Band-Aid. They are also very comfortable on your skin. They stay on for days -even after getting wet. Because they are so thin they feel like a second skin and are very protective. But because they are so thin they may not provide as much healing. I think these are great for areas of skin that have shallow cuts, that are healing, or areas that are scraped. They may not be as effective for areas that have been burned or have larger, open wound damage. That would be better with thicker hydro colloid dressings. (But the thicker are less comfortable. ) For example, I burned my skin and used the thicker bandages for most of the healing but the thicker bandages started to itch and feel uncomfortable. Since most of the healing had been done but the area was still sore and the surface was tender I then used this thinner bandage which was far more comfortable on my skin. I also like that the area is not exposed which was causing some pain.
