Review on Premium Bordered Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressings - MedVance TM - 4"X4" Pad Size (Box Of 5) by Michael Altayeb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Honest review from a frustrated customer

Absolutely incredible product for sensitive skin. I purchased it for dressing a post surgery scar on my breast requiring daily dressing changes, and had tried a lot of other produst; Nexcare strong hold adhesive pad, nexcare sensitive skin tape, walgreens brand sensitive skin paper tape, bandaid brand all-in-one foam dressing pads, bandaid brand waterproof pad, 3M Medipore +Pad, and more. This is hands down the best product. It doesn't stick to the wound, is showerproof, painfree to remove, and soft, it doesn't even leave creases in the skin when the correct size is used. My skin was so dry and irritated two weeks post surgery it was beginning to look like it does with stretch marks, that shiny, scar tissue like appearance. I was using gentle soap to help remove other bandages to avoid pain and further damage to my skin, and using lotion made other dressings not adhere well. These dressing pads even maintain skin moisture! I can use lotion over them no problem, and the silicone layer keeps the covered skin nourished. And personally, I haven't had any problems with the adhesion, even while sweating, and believe bad adhesion is only a problem if an improper size is used. It may seem expensive, but so is trial and error with other products, so why risk wasting your money when this product is a sure thing. After spending over $100 on wound care over the course of the last 4 weeks, I can confidently reccomend this product to anyone with a serious or post surgical wound, sensitive skin, and the like.

Pros
  • works great
Cons
  • The foam material may not be durable enough for long-term use
