3M Tegaderm Transparent Dressing with Label 4" x 4 3/4" (10 x 12 cm)50 per Box #1626W

I will never buy 3M Tegaderm Transparent Dressings from anywhere besides Amazon ever again! The price is AMAZING!!!! I have looked everywhere & Amazon has the best prices I can find by a landslide. I have Breast Cancer & am Prescribed the Fentanyl Patch for pain. The Fentanyl Patches do not adhere well to my body, I have to at the very least use medical tape to keep them on. Needless to say, the medical tape doesn't work or I wouldn't even bother with the Tegaderm Dressings because of the price...however they are the only thing that works besides the J&J Bioclusives that my CVS Pharmacist gives me. The J&J Bioclusives work, but unless you can get them for free from your Pharmacy, they are more expensive than 3M Tegaderm, believe it or not. I have tried calling around to different Pharmacies and if they do have them they only have 3 in a packet, which will last the average Fentanyl Patch patient 9 days out of a 30 day prescription. That's only if you're lucky enough to find a pharmacy that has them & they usually only have 1 or 2 packets & that still doesn't cover the whole month. Before I found Tagederm on Amazon I was paying $17.00 for 4!!!!! Now, thanks to Amazon...I don't have to pay the outrageous price for a quality product. The 3M Tegaderm works great! Any Pharmacist will tell you to use these, I'm not sure why 1 person said it caused them to overdose...they are the same & work the same as the J&J Bioclusives. They are made from the same material, you're basically choosing the brand 3M or Johnson & Johnson. I also double checked that with my Pharmacist & he said all you're paying for is the J&J Name & that's why they're more expensive, but IMO the 3M brand works the same & is easier to apply. The Tegaderm 4x4 size is perfect for the 75MCG Fentanyl Patch & they keep them on you for the entire 3 days during showers and everything else you do. I would and have highly recommended these for anyone who has problems keeping their Fentanyl patch on. I also use a different type of the 3M Tegaderm for my Portacath & it keeps my Port dry as well, I just wish they'd fit over my patch, b/c my home health nurse always leaves me more than I need ;-) There are 2-3 distributors on Amazon that sell the 4x4 3M Tegaderm around the same price range. I use BP Medical Supplies via Amazon & have not had problems or issues arise from my transactions with them. They came exactly as described, it took 6 days from my purchase online to being delivered at my door. The size of the Tegaderm I recieved is 4 x 4 & 3/4 inches & the brand was 3M. I'm not sure why people are saying they're not getting what is described, I would try BP Med Supplies & they will give you exactly what's in the description. Thanks Amazon & BP Med Supplies!!! I couldn't be happier with the money I saved!

I originally discovered these following a surgery I had undergone, and part of the home care was to replace the bandages, which the clinic had provided me with a half dozen of these to take home. Prior to this I had purchased other brands / versions at local box stores and pharmacies, however none of them held up as these do. In addition to the performance, these are much more affordable as some box stores and pharmacy’s I noticed were charging $15 to $20 for only 4-each of poorer quality versions.

Reliable and skin-friendly! I switched to these larger Tegaderm films to keep my medication patches secure in the shower, and they work flawlessly. They stay perfectly adhered without peeling, and I change them every 3.5 days. I have very sensitive skin and have had no issues with irritation. Highly recommend if you need a dependable, waterproof barrier.

I've been using these for years to hold down a pain patch that doesn't like to stick, and I don't give a mouse fart in a high wind what the manufacturer says about being able to reapply the patch if it falls off or peels up, my experience has been that once you lose that initial "stick" to your skin and it gets that whitish film on the skin side the thing doesn't work for crap anymore so you've GOT to keep that seal intact - and if you get water behind there, forget it, so you gotta have waterproof. I first encountered Tegaderms when Janssen used to send them out to Duragesic users, but the companies making the generics are too cheap to send them; I tried the cheaper knockoffs, the store brands that still cost more than buying Tegaderms here, and the more expensive Bioclusives and keep coming back to good old real Tegaderms. I did also try 4" wide Medfix and Hypafix tapes, but it was a hassle to use, I really needed three hands. Easier for someone else to apply rather than trying to stick it onto yourself. Tegaderms stick well even when I get sweaty in the summer, as long as skin is dry, clean and unpowdered when the Tegaderm is applied, as well as after an hour in a heavily-chlorinated rehab pool or a long soak in an epsom-salt bath, but they don't rip the dickens out of my skin when I peel one off every 2 days. Some people do better using a "skin prep" product under the Tegaderm but I tend to have problems with getting the prep on the place where the medication patch is going to be so the medication does not absorb properly. Tegaderm does not adhere well to skin that is very hairy (do NOT shave the area, use clippers to clip hair down to the skin), dirty (wash with mild soap and rinse very well), damp (try a blow dryer on no-heat setting), or has anything on it such as powder or lotion (wait to use that until after you have your dressing in place). Oily-skinned people may want to try cleaning the area with rubbing alcohol beforehand and allowing skin to dry COMPLETELY before applying (this is what my doctor told me to do, check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns), or using a skin prep product. My only real problem with these, and not really enough to knock off a star, is occasionally it will itch like a stinker. That's just me and adhesives. If you tend to have major skin reactions to adhesives, you may wish to buy a single dressing locally to test before investing in a larger package here so they do not go to waste if you do have a problem. Scratching doesn't get through very well, but lightly tapping or slapping the area relieves the itch somewhat, and it does go away. After I remove the patch and dressing, I apply some cortisone or Benadryl cream (or both) to the place where it was if the itch persists. Make sure you rotate your placement locations to avoid skin damage. By the way, I find it easiest to remove these painlessly if I peel it so it folds back against itself. Pulling it straight out stretches the skin and huuuuuuurts. I have a little trick to applying these with my patches, since I live alone and don't have help to stick it on properly I often got them crooked or wrinkled when applying onto a patch that's already in place, especially on an arm, and somehow a wrinkled Tegaderm itches more. I peel the backing off the Tegaderm and lay it down on a table or counter, sticky side up obviously. :) I take my medication patch out of its package and carefully center it on the Tegaderm, backing side up, then lay the Tegaderm backing back down on the sticky surface to make a "sandwich" and rub it well to adhere the parts together. Then I remove the two backings - make sure you get both!! - and slap the combination patch-and-dressing in place. Last I remove the white frame from the front (almost died laughing once when I saw one poor devil at my pain clinic with that big white box on his arm, he didn't know you were supposed to take that part off! It's just there to stabilize the film during application, the open center is so you can see what you're doing). Since I'm on a 48-hour change schedule I can just remember whether I'm on odd- or even-numbered days that month but if you're on a 72-hour schedule you might want to write your change day on the patch with a Sharpie marker before you lay it down on the Tegaderm. My insurance does not cover these because they are considered a "convenience item" (if the people making those rules had to wear these dadblamed patches they would probably think otherwise, they're lifesavers for me but they're still a pain in the patoot) so the price is very important. The amount charged for this 4x4.75" size at the drugstore was downright sinful - ten bucks for a box of two! - from a brick and mortar medical supply store it was just ridiculous at nearly three dollars apiece, but here it's very reasonable, so I've made sure to tell my doctors and nurses to pass on to patients who use Tegaderms - or worse, are struggling with adhesive tape that just doesn't do the job because the Tegaderms are too expensive at retail - that they need to come here to Amazon! The only place I have seen lower prices is an auction site and that just felt hinky to me. EDIT: I've noticed some people getting really torqued up over their dressings arriving in a zip-top bag instead of a nice box. Since most of these vendors get them in large bulk boxes in order to pass the savings along to you, some orders (especially the small orders of 10) of Tegaderms may not come boxed. I order 50 every few months since I go through 15-16 a month and don't stress much whether they are boxed or bagged. If they are bagged, I check the individual packets while counting them on arrival to make sure they are intact. As long as the individual packet is not damaged, THE DRESSING IS STILL STERILE. These are professional medical supplies and thus do not come with instructions other than a couple of small line drawings on the individual packet, if you need more guidance, just Google "how to apply Tegaderm" and there are many resources including YouTube videos.

Great product. Just the perfect amount of adhesive to stick well all day but comes off easily WITHOUT pulling off skin. Can use day after day no problem which is needed with wounds taking weeks or more to heal.

I bought this 50 pack one day I made the mistake of sliding during a softball game while wearing shorts. I skinned a large section of my leg, and researched the best way to get it to heal. I found Tegaderm and silver gel, bought both, and tried them out. Tegaderm being a clear bandage, I could watch the skin growing back over the next days/weeks I had it covered. It healed quickly, and I became a believer in covering wounds fully (after cleaning them) and keeping them covered with no air exposure during the healing process. I've since used Tegaderm for lots of other issues, always with sucess. I usually use the waterproof Nexcare bandages for small cuts/scrapes/etc, but anything larger, and I will take out a Tegaderm film, and usually cut it down to size a bit so that it's not too much larger than the area I'm covering. My process is to put silver gel on the wound, cut the Tegaderm to size, and place it with the wound centered on the film, taking care not to press down on the wound as I put the film on it (which spreads out the gel). This way the gel stays on the wound, and there is a good waterproof seal from the film around it. Tegaderm does pull off hair when you remove it, but it's not terrible. Overall I don't use it that often, but I love it, and it's indispensable for when you need it.

I bought these for a couple of different purposes: First of all, I use them to cover my pain patch so it won’t lift off at the edges, and also to protect it in the shower. These films are most excellent for this purpose! They are entirely transparent, edge to edge, and lie completely flush with my skin, so they don’t begin to peel up halfway through use. Also, one of the things I’ve always appreciated about 3M's Tegaderm - and a reason why I NEVER settle for off-brands - is that it is completely waterproof. I never have to worry that some little droplet is going to work its way under the edge and break the seal. These are entirely dependable, and I always know they’ll do just what I need them to. The other reason I got these is because I have a triple lumen power port-o-cath, and the Tegaderm dressings which my DME sends with my weekly access kit are not large enough to cover my port if I have 2 or 3 of my lumens accessed at the same time, only one. For this purpose, these particular films are not quite as effective. I personally prefer a windowed dressing over my central line, that is, a tegaderm film with the Medipore window around the border. This just makes it easier to see where the edges of the dressing lie in relation to the port’s lumens, in order to ensure that my dressing is entirely occlusive. I know this seems like super picky personal preference, but one can never be too careful with a central line, and it’s crucial to ensure that no part of my access points are exposed. With an entirely transparent film, it becomes very difficult to do this. The photos shown of this product on its page don’t make it clear whether it has a windowed Medipore border or not. However, since I actually do need the entirely transparent film for my pain patch, it wasn’t too big of a deal. I simply ordered a windowed film from another seller. It would be nice, though, if in the future this seller could include a photo of this film out of its package so we could see that it has no border. Thank you! =)

These are great Band-Aid alternatives and I love them! So many other uses like preventing blisters and waterproofing the skin for various reasons. I from time to time get painful bumps whether it be a cyst or pimple or whatever all I need to do is make a little saltwater mixture put it on a gauze and then apply this over it and it sits on my skin and pretty much dissolves that irritation in no time... This product coming in various sizes is a lifesaver and I will always repurchase!

My wife got these for me. I'm doing the patch to quit smoking and we really want to pull out all the stops to make it work. Things don't stick to me very well so we looked around for something to help keep the patches in place. Fantastic results. We place a Tegaderm over the patch and it doesn't matter how hard I'm working or sweating, they just don't come off until pulled off (stay stuck on in the shower too). When its time to remove, simply give them a quick pull, no big ouch, no messy residue left behind. Very pleased with our purchase!

Great product.

Ich benutze diese Fixierpflaster für meinen Guardian Sensor und bin sehr zufrieden. Die 1625W von Tegaderm sind einiges größer als mein Sensor, daher bieten sie mir Sicherheit, auch an heißen Tagen, daß der Sensor hält... Vielen Dank! Jederzeit wieder!!!

Fast delivery and Good product.

Ordered 50 pcs per box but delivered only a bag of 10 pcs
