3M Tegaderm 1626 Transparent Film Dressing, 4 x 4-3/4 in, 50/Box

I've recently had several surgeries and have been spending tons of money on tegaderm at Walgreens...around $10 for their brand and depending on the size I was choosing, it came with four or eight pieces. This has 50 which, with a shower per day, covers less than eight weeks. Having surgery every week and a half, I'd gone through a couple of weeks of buying it at Walgreens before I checked online. It sticks well but isn't hard to remove at all...just peels right off and even with the freshest incisions, doesn't hurt at all. This size is covering two 2.5" incisions that are about 1-1.5" apart and leaves space around it. It's also the easiest to apply and remove the top layer after putting on the skin which is also something the Walgreens brand fails at. This is a great price and a great product - highly recommend and will absolutely order again next time I need it.

These are great. They’re very large, they’re easy to apply (honest!), they make a tight seal around the edges but not in the middle, and because they’re clear you can watch the progress of your wound without peeling up the dressing. Nothing is better for large scrapes, friction burns, localized allergic reactions, et centers.. if you’re dealing with large blisters, you may be able to position the sticky edges on places that don’t hurt, which is a big improvement. -- Teresa Nielsen Hayden Also, they’re much cheaper per square inch than the largest Band-Aids, and they don’t come printed with cartoon characters. I’d tell you how good Tegaderm dressings are for bandaging the smaller sorts of surgical incisions; but if you have to deal with incisions on a regular basis, odds are you already know all about them.

Hospitals use these (but in different sizes) when inserted an IV or a patient has a wound that needs to be watched over visually. I have a medication OTC Lidoderm patches and with the constant problem with sweating they kept falling off. So, while I was in the ER we had the idea about putting a Tagaderm patch over the Lidoderm. Now I don't have to worry about the patch slipping out of place and the adhesive ruining my clothes and do to the fact the Tagaderm is waterproof I can take (a real) shower anytime without worry of ruining the Lidoderm patch. I'm sure it will work with other types of medication patches. Now my body can sweat-buckets-liquid that it wants, LOL. Tagaderm comes in many different sizes and prices. I don't worry about the price so much because it's saving my medication. And there are two types of Tagaderm, one with border (the one I use) and one without border and there is some price differences.

This is the best to apply to wounds after wound has been cleaned and not bleeding. Great product!

I have previously purchased these, a great product!

I use a weekly medication patch that doesn't like to stay stuck by itself, and if water gets behind it it is no longer effective, so I use a Tegaderm to hold the patch in place and keep it dry. The film is thinner than saran wrap and super flexible and does a very good job at holding the patch in place. The 1626W dressing is large enough to cover the patch with about an inch to spare on all sides. It stays stuck all week with just minor lifting of the corners from time to time. I'm very allergic to most adhesives but the brand name Tegaderm only itches a little bit, unlike the generic dressings that cause a rash. Tegaderm is much cheaper on Amazon than it is in drugstores or brick and mortar medical supply stores. I've told my doctors about these so they can tell other patients who are having trouble with their patches.

I turned 36 years old on January 1. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and have had to endure countless hospitalizations, surgeries at John Hopkins and am on Remicade and the Cancer center. I am also unfortunately on OxyContin for severe pain and have now been placed on Fentanyl 100mcg for every 72 hours. Every month I get a box of 10 from the pharmacy. I had been purchasing 3M Tegaderm, however it took 4 of the dressings to cover them up and they came in a bag of 20 for $8.00. Anyway where I live, out of curiosity I went to every big box pharmacy to see if they sold them in bigger quantities and they did not carry the 3M Tegaderm. We only have one small local pharmacy herer and the carried just what I needed with the 3M Tegaderm, however there were 30 in the box and it had a price tag of $87.99! I finally decided to go back on to Amazon's website and discovered they carried a bigger patch ( the 4 by 4.75 ) and there were 50 of them in a box for $28.07. I immediately bought them and since I have prime they arrived the very next day. I used one patch this morning and it fit perfectly. If you must use this product in the 4 x .... And it's 50 in a box for $28..... Buy it NOW. I am so glad I bought these from Amazon . I LOVE YOU AMAZON!!!!! I am a customer for LIFE!!!

Works great!
