Band-AidBrand Adhesive Bandages, Large Hurt-Free Non-Stick Pads, 3-Inch x 4-Inch Pads, 10 Count, 3 Pack

I had a wound to my leg paralleling my shin on the outer aspect, which measured abut 4" L x 1/2 in W and ~2/16" deep. No sutures. Need to cover and allow to heal, but ended up needing a skin graft, where the surgery is next week. In the 3 weeks of covering, this was a great non-stick pad as compared to plain gauze. As the pic shows the construction is such that there is a cotton-like middle layer about 4/16" thick, which is surrounded by a smooth nylon stocking like mesh. The mesh material does not stick to the wound, though mine was more draining and not draining and drying so much. The cotton-like substance absorbed drainage well. Much more comfortable than plain gauze which at times felt like sandpaper. You can cut to s smaller size and the cotton-like absorbent does shred or fall out. A positive experience for me, no sticking, no infection (hand sanitizer and Silvadene cream), some healing.... getting me to skin graft next week. Wrapper goes into the compost bin. Btw you have to keep the bandage on with tape.

These WILL stick to wounds and cause problems when you remove them (by reopening the wound). These are advertised as "No Hurt" and "Stick Free" dressings and this is just not so. Especially if you are dressing the wound with any type of MediHoney. After working to heal a leg wound, removal of this bandage after only 6 hours, reopened the wound and set back the healing process by 1-2 weeks. If you are looking for a "non-stick" bandage or dressing, DO NOT purchase this product. They stated that a clinical study showed this dressing would not stick to wounds. I'm not sure what study they are talking about but if so, I can tell you that the study came to the WRONG conclusion! Go elsewhere for a non-stick bandage. Don't waste your money on this product.

This is one of the most brilliant, useful band-aid products. However, even though this item says sold by 'Band-aid' or 'Pharma-pack' it often arrives mysteriously fulfilled by a different 'seller.' It's only annoying because Band-aid and Pharma-pack deliver the product perfectly; whereas, two other sellers have sent products that are damaged or crushed.

We use these with gauze wraps to protect my husband's legs. Recently, fluid built up in his legs and leaked through his skin constantly. That led to open sores over a period of time. These pads along with the cotton wraps and medication help absorb the fluid and protect the sensitive skin so that it can heal while the fluid is reduced in his legs. Pads that stick can rip the skin off making the situation worse. I highly recommend these.

The name of this product has the word “Adhesive”. So, I expected there would be something adhesive about it. Silly me! It appears they get the “non stick” attribute be having zero adhesive. This is just a patch of cotton which was useless for protecting my surgical wound. Very misleading title.
