MedVance TM Silicone - Bordered Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressing Size 4"x4" (2.7"x2.7" pad), Box of 10 dressings

Didn’t tear at my sensitive skin, absorbed a lot.

I recently tried the MedVance TM Silicone - Bordered Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressing, and I must say it's one of the best products available in the market, along with its competitor, Medline OptiFoam. These dressings have some remarkable qualities that make them highly effective for wound care, especially for severe pressure sores.One standout feature of these dressings is the softer adhesive border. Unlike other brands, the MedVance TM Silicone dressings can securely grasp and maintain their hold even in folds, wrinkles, and irregular, highly contoured areas of the body. This is particularly important for patients who have wounds in challenging locations, such as the sacral area, as the dressing provides a secure and comfortable barrier, promoting healing and preventing further damage. It also works well with collagen ointments, moisture barrier gel/cream, substrate powders, alginates, and even highly viscous medical honey.The overall performance of the dressings is excellent. The foam pad is of high quality, providing optimal absorption and cushioning for the wound. The silicone adhesive is gentle on the skin and does not cause irritation or discomfort during removal. I found the dressings easy to apply, and they stayed in place even during movement and daily activities.However, one aspect that can be frustrating is the price fluctuations and delayed delivery. At times, it feels like a bait and switch tactic, as the price listed at $14.99 upon purchase suddenly increases sharply to $18.99, and then immediately shipment gets delayed for over nearly two (2) weeks! This inconsistency in pricing and delivery can be quite annoying, especially when you rely on the product for ongoing wound care which could develop into severe infection or even death.Despite the pricing and delivery delay concerns, the MedVance TM Silicone - Bordered Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressings still remains an exceptional product. They are highly effective for severe pressure sores, thanks to their soft adhesive border and superior performance. If you can overlook the occasional price fluctuations and delayed shipments, these dressings are a reliable choice for even the most complex wound care.In summary, the MedVance TM Silicone - Bordered Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressings, along with Medline OptiFoam, are among the best products available for wound care. The softer adhesive border allows them to maintain a secure hold in folds, wrinkles, and irregular areas of the body. However, be cautious of price fluctuations and delayed deliveries, as they can be frustrating especially if you need the adhesives right away. Overall, these dressings are a top-notch option for severe pressure sores and provide excellent wound care support.

Worked great, thank you

My husband scraped his lower leg on his shin bone. I cleansed it & applied these bandages every 2 days & after a week now he can go 3 days between changes. The adhesive around the bandage works so well. It adheres to the skin with no irritation. What could have turned into an ulcerated wound, was kept clean & treated by these bandages. Great product when used appropriately!

This product sticks well to skin for wounds but I personally used this for after surgery care.
