Band-Aid Brand Hydro Seal Large Waterproof Adhesive Bandages for Wound Care and Blisters, 6 ct

These are sooooo tiny. I was expecting them to be way bigger

Los compré como parches para granitos y están excelentes. También curan muy rápido y lo mejor es qué hay pegamento en todo el curita, así que puedes recortarlo en partes muy pequeñas y seguirá funcionando. Es una maravilla, una excelente alternativa a marcas súper costosas. Quisiera que el paquete tuviera más piezas pero no tengo ninguna queja.

I Absolutely swear by these bandaids, but I don’t use them the way most people would. I am a type 1 diabetic - so I am constantly 24/7 wearing insulin pumps and CGM sensors. These devices are on my body every second of everyday. The adhesive attached to these devices can be extremely irritating to the skin and I’ve found my skin to be very sensitive to said adhesive. That is until - I discovered bandaids brand hydrocolloid bandages. These bandages are the perfect size to adhere onto the adhesive of my medical devices. Creating the perfect barrier between the device and my skin. I buy about 7 packs of these per month on an amazon subscribe and save. I end up saving a couple bucks each time, as these are way more expensive in stores. I can’t imagine using any other bandage type/brand as a barrier. Bandaid brand is not only reliable, but the only brand of hydrocolloid bandages I can wear for 3-10 days and not be irritated one bit! These have quite literally saved my skin and changed my life. They also heal your skin and you wear them - preventing my skin from being itchy and irritated due to my medical devices. They are truly waterproof and do not come off without pulling! I can shower, bathe and swim with these bandages on no problem. These bandages are super versatile - like I mentioned, I use these as a barrier between my skin and my medical devices, but obviously you can use them as a regular bandage, or even a cost effective and affordable option to DIY pimple patches! I seriously love these and reccomend them to everyone. If you are wearing any sort of medical device and are prone to contact dermatitis from the adhesive - PLEASE give these a try. I promise you won’t be dissapointed!

Son maravillosas. Le permiten poder bañarse sin que se despeguen, sirven para todo incluyendo quemaduras y ampollas. Se puede dejar la curita y la gel la misma empieza a curar la herida, sea lo que sea.

These are game changers.. must try for ache.

These work miracles, as someone with a lot of ongoing skin issues. As long as the skin around the injury is dry, these stay adhered very well, even when you wash your hands. In fact, hands are a very important use case for me, since it keeps the injury site clean and doesn't collect water from handwashing the way cloth bandaids do. That said- depending on if you need some very creative angles on your hands, the All Health brand might be better, because it's much more flexible- though All Health doesn't cushion against pressure as well because of that. Band-aid brand is especially good for mostly-flat stretches of skin, or ones that curve only a little. (Band-aid brand is also eligible to be paid for with FSA or HSA funds, while I have not been able to do so for All Health.) For both brands (and indeed the others I've used as well), though, if a little water gets under the edges, it will start to peel up early and you'll want to replace the bandage with a new one- water getting underneath will have the same effect on the bandage as the fluid draining from the wound, which is to say it will absorb it and stop sticking. Relatedly, if a wound is seeping too rapidly (or bleeding more than a very little bit), these won't have time to absorb the fluid and it will just build up under the bandage until it leaks out (though at least it still won't stick to the wound site in that case). In that case, I would recommend starting off with a more traditional bandage with some kind of medicated ointment (neosporin or some other kind of antibacterial, or, if you've cleaned it thoroughly and it doesn't look like any chance of infection, zinc oxide ointment to help dry out the wound a little), and wait until the wound has healed a little more and seeps a little less. Then you can switch to these hydroseal bandaids, which seal out contaminants and cushion the wound. (Be aware that these bandaids don't work particularly well with any ointments under them on the wound. The residue of zinc oxide when it's dry seems to be fine, and any ointment that dries completely might be fine, but it's even recommended on the bandaid box to skip any ointments, creams, or lotions, to ensure they will stick correctly.) In my experience, if the wound is still seeping even a little blood, these will be less effective in healing. They work best on wounds with small amounts of clear discharge only. Even if the bandaid itswlf seems to behave the same in both cases. I don't know why. For blisters, either you can just stick one on top of the closed blister to cushion it and absorb any disrcharge through the skin; or you can carefully pierce the blister, clean it thouroughly with isopropyl alcohol, and then put the hydroseal bandaid on it; or you can carefully remove the entire flap of skin over the blister, clean it with isopropyl, and then put one of these on it. In my experience, all these have their place- I would leave the blister unpopped for as long as possible so the skin underneath can start to regenerate in natural conditions, but if it's starting to become painful due to the pressure of fluid buildup or physical pressure on the blister location pushing the fluid around and causing the skin within the blister to tear, you may find piercing it helps. In any case, making sure the whole thing is very clean is important. And for blisters in particular (as opposed to scrapes with fluid discharge), no matter whether you're leaving them closed or not, keep the hydroseal bandaid on as long as possible, and don't try and remove it before it starts coming off on its own. This is important in general, but for blisters it seems to be even more important. Not sure why. Also, IMPORTANT: Don't use these over a wound that shows any sign of infection (and/or little tiny blisters the size of a pinhead appearing around the initial wound site). That will just spread any bacteria around, and then the infection will get worse and then your skin doctor will frown at you and you'll end up needing a bunch of oral antibiotics. Which, in my experience, is troublesome. Learn from my experiences, and if you see anything even vaguely like an infection, look into the appropriate medicated ointments and traditional non stick bandages instead. Maybe consult a doctor about it if you can. If you need those waterproof, I'm pretty sure clear bandage covering adhesive sheets exist, although I have not yet tried them. Overall these are a very important part of my medical supplies and work absolute wonders- as long as they are used for the correct situations. Also, prices fluctuate a lot, so check Amazon often, and look up different bulk listings, and compare the unit prices. Amazon has still been usually better than the local stores, but it's not guaranteed.
