Review on Nexcare Tegaderm Transparent Dressing Inches by Devin Henry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tegaderm is excellent. I break almost all band aids

If you have sensitive skin and need to apply a piece of gauze to an open wound then Tegaderm is for you. I get rid of almost all adhesives, including band-aids and some silk ribbon. I've never had problems like this with Tegaderm. I was first introduced to Tegaderm when I needed an adhesive to hold a patch with a medication in place for 72 hours. Whatever I did, all was lost early. The patch manufacturer discourages the use of first aid tape to preserve the patches, but allows for biosecurity. I couldn't find this product but my pharmacist recommended Tegaderm (obviously similar to another acceptable product). I stick one of these over the medication patch and I have no problem with the medication patch staying in place. You were a real lifesaver. On rare occasions I've had a peeling in the corner, but my doctor recommended that I use an alcohol swab to remove fat from the body before applying the Tegaderm patch and I've had no problems since. FYI, if you've ever had an IV in a hospital, you've probably been exposed to Tegaderm. This is a clear, very thin, sticky patch that is put on the place where the intravenous drip will be inserted. Tegaderm protects against bacteria and other pollutants.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
