MedlineOptifoam Gentle EX Bordered Foam Adhesive Dressing, 3" x 3" Square (10 Count)

Expensive but worth it. It’s the only bandage that doesn’t tear off skin when removed.

Thank you

These bandages are thick so that they can protect the wound especially from hitting, or rubbing up against other things. The bandages are easy to apply and adhere firmly. Out of all of the bandages I've tried, I highly recommend this type.

I was first given these in the hospital after a recent hip arthroscopy. I have extremely sensitive and fragile skin that gets torn from regular bandages, steri strips, and tape. I have been wearing these for a month with zero irritation and they are very absorbent, as well as provides cushioning on top of the sutures. I wish I had known about these for my prior surgeries, as they would have saved a lot of grief! These were also recommended by my wound care nurse friend, as they use them in LTC for pressure wounds and incisions.The optifoam ones are much better than the less expensive knockoffs, which the edges tend to roll on or they are very goopy/leave residue. Worth it to buy the name brand.

Excellent adhesive and cushion

Other band aids would tear the skin off on my wife’s wounds. These do not tear her skin which is good. The only problem is that they seem to not hold well on her upper leg and have a tendency to fall off while she works. But they do absorb well. But are better then regular band aids

I needed this foam dressing after I had surgery which had to be a bit deeper than average, and for which the doctor required granular healing rather than surgical stitches. This type of wound requires drainage fluids to be wicked away from the wound and also prevent leakage. This bandage has been handling this task easily, plus has an easy-removing border that's gentle on my skin, yet clings like a tenacious rock-climber. Never once in almost two months has even a corner of one peeled loose, including in the shower, which is the point in my day when my doctor advised removing the bandage for wound cleansing as the steam/moisture makes it even easier. The bullet points on the outside of the box describing product benefits/storage/warning against not using for 3rd degree burns are clear and well-written. Additionally, both graphics and instructions in numbered steps make application easy for most, if not all. This particular bandage MAY be left on longer than a day ONLY if certain conditions are met concerning drainage amounts, so you'd want to contact your doctor for approval if you think you may be eligible.

These are good quality dressings. They stick well and resist water.
