Review on 3M Health Care 16004 Transparent by Alif Wills

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product wrong design for my needs

Disappointed. I have been using Tegederm film as a wound dressing for a year because I have lymphoma and every wound requires careful care to avoid or manage infection. Tegederm, which is sold in boxes, often doesn't match the commercially available non-stick dressings, so I always have to trim which can contaminate the dressing. So I sent Revain for a roll version that was advertised as having the benefit of being able to be cut to any size. Well, that's only half the story. For example, you can cut it across the roll to make 2x4 or 4x4 or 6x4. But you can't scale it down to get say 2x2, which is what I needed at the moment. The way the adhesive backing attaches to the film isn't designed for this and you end up with a mess that doesn't work. There should be a more flexible version of this product; it wasn't. I'm keeping what I bought because it was cheap and there's a chance I can use it in the future. I think I'm really lucky that my recent wounds are quite small. By the way, Tegederm is a great wound care product, and if you have to change bandages frequently over a long period of time, it is best for the often very rough skin.
