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

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 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!

This is absolutely perfect to cover a Hickman line and allow for a shower. Word of warning though, cut a piece of paper to place over the dressing first as the adhesion of these is very good. We ended up using 2 of them for each shower, both landscape rotation. First one on the bottom and then the second one above, but overlapping the bottom (thus preventing water getting under the bottom one). I highly recommend this to anyone who's wanting to enjoy a simple shower after having a central line put in. You could possibly use 1 per shower, but we felt it was a bit risky due to the length of the lines, but depending on your situation you might be able to use just one.

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.

A must buy for wounds and abrasions.

I've used various products of this type over the years (for tattoo healing) but inevitably come back to tegaderm each time because they really just the best all round product. They adhere well to the skin, I've used them successfully up to 5 days, but aren't difficult to remove. They're fully suitable to use in the shower and also you can layer them slightly if the individual piece size isn't quite large enough.

Recently started HRT patches, kept waking up with them migrating to other parts of my body or just in the sheets! Did a little search and found these, saw others found they worked and by Jove, they most certainly do! Fab 👍

I use these over the top of medicinal patches and they are excellent! I wear them for a week and they protect the patch from swimming and showering. Nothing not to like!
