Dressings 10cm x 12cm x10 3M - Tattoo/Burns/Wounds/Abrasions 1626

Well made, ultra thin self adhesive plastic that you can stick over a dressing and take a shower. You can only use it once so it works out quite expensive but it does the job.

I had knee surgery and needed to protect the stitches from moisture as I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome my skin splits more easily. The stitches were left in for an extra week and the knee remain dry, I s able to shower every day. Great product.

I got these primarily to help keep my libre sensor in place and they've been brilliant. I put it on after applying a new sensor and the dressing helps keep the sensor in place. Having showers doesn't affect the dressing at all, I don't swim so I don't know how effective it is when swimming. I also don't have baths so don't know how effective it is, but for showers, the dressing stays in place. Taking off is not comfortable (as with all kinds of plasters etc) but being secure in the knowledge my libre sensor won't fall off for the entire 2 weeks is worth the discomfort! For any Diabetics with a CGM I would recommend these plasters, I find cutting them in half sufficient, but you can use them whole if you desire! These dressings are something I will continue to purchase-especially due to their size!

Bought these as needed to keep my medical patches on, which come off due to their thickens and lack of flexibility as easily catch on clothes. Placed these over top of patches and hold in place really well. But these are soooo big that after a few days, with the natural movement of your skin and clothing being applied, they started to slightly come away at edges. Still waterproof where stuck to skin. Still effective but the size makes them vulnerable to not maintaining full adhesions right to edges. Have bought smaller ones in past with plaster centres and they are great for minor wounds.

Since Dexcom changed the adhesive on their sensors my skin has reacted really badly to it, I've tried all sorts of products to try and stop the irritation, skin tac made 10 times worse, skin glue slightly less irritation than skin tac and expression med under and over patches unbelievable irritation considering they're supposed to be hypoallergenic! Tegaderm doesn't irritate my skin at all which is amazing considering everything seems to irritate my skin these days! I use the tegaderm 6x7cm patches as an underpatch, put my sensor on top of that and then use the larger patches to keep it in place and hey presto no skin irritation! Tegaderm stays on well for the 10 days and if it does start to peel away just carefully cut the film around your sensor, peel away and put a new film on! Can't recommend tegaderm enough for people with sensitive skin!

I use it to stick over my anti sickness patch which often falls off- it stays on okay for the whole week!

I've not used these dressings yet, they were for my medicine box to replace a packet that is nearly finished. Tegarderm dressings are good for wounds etc. but if you have a serious injury you should see your own doctor or hospital before using them.

The adhesion is not too good, I would say it works but it will not last more than a quick shower. I used it to cover my fresh tattoo and mate, 15 minutes later it was already peeling 😂
