Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing with Border Adhesive 4x4 Wound Dressing First Aid Bandage for Wound Care 10 Pack FSA/HSA Approved

These bandages are very useful and do help in the healing process. I was very surprised to have a product perform as good, if not better, than expected. I have already purchased another box so I have some on hand at home & car. I have a medical situation where any bump usually turns into a small geyser of blood (eeeww!!) These bandages are more useful than regular bandaids/gauze for more serious scrapes and cuts. The size gives ample coverage and the adhesive stays on for multiple days without damaging your skin. Great product, highly recommend.

Some cuts or sores you can cover with a Babd-Aid, some large ones might need gauze or a Telfa pad to protect the site. But for some open wounds and ulcers, a special type of dressing is required to soak up the liquids, or exudate. Dimora offers a specific line of dressings just for this purpose. I will add a few photos of a lower leg ucler common with diabetics and people who suffer from swelling of the extremeties called lymphadema. I first tried gauze dressings but they stuck to the wound and made things worse when I peeled them off. Even Telfa pads, which claim to be non-stick, were less than ideal plus didn't help soak up fluids commonly found in stasis ulcers. Fortunately I found Silicone Foam Dressingss made by Dimora that helped with might otherwise might be months or years of healing time for stasis ulcers. They come in several sizes including 6, 4 and 3 inch squares. I settled on the 4" as being the right size for my particular needs. The 3 and 4 inch dressings offer a choice of with or without a thinner adhesive border. Each has good sticking power, but I chose to anchor each side with tape then wrap the whole thing in an Ace wrap for greater protection. Since the Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing with Border Adhesive has a cushiony, sterile center it offer great protection against germs and accidental bumps and feels cooling going on. The outer layer is somehow air-permeable while the dressing itself is considered a waterproof barrier. The dressings may be left on up to 2 days, but in the beginning I chose to chane them twice a day. They peel off very easily without damaging surrounding sjkin or the fragile wound area itself. In the first stage of healing you will first see a whitish-yellow surface called slough. This is dead skin cells and fluids seeping out of the damaged area. Unfortunately, such ulcers cannot heal properly with this layer and must be removed. Debriding can be done manually with a clean cloth and warm water but it is far less painful to let the silicone foam pads do the work. As the healing continues you see more pinkish red granulation tissue and finally, no more open areas at all. If you purchase the Dimora dressings without borders you can cut them to size, say 2" x 4" or 1" squares, for greater value if that fits your needs. Tip: the dressings with borders have a smaller usable foam space, about 2" for the 4" since each borders measures about 1/2". The dressings are protected by peel off covering, like the backs of Band-Aids. I highly recommend these as a top quality product with easy application and removal. I could have used them back in the day I had a deep (full thickness) second degree burn for which they are also recommended.

This is the best coverage for any sores that are weeping or infected. Helps them heal better by covering the sore and absorbing any mess from the wound.

Item was exactly as described.

Good quality dressing. Both adhered and absorbed as required. Would not cope with heavy wound discharge. Did not cause reaction on highly sensitive skin which was a major positive.
