MedVanceTM Silicone - Bordered Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressing Size 4"x 12" (2.4"x10.4" Pad) Box of 5 dressings

Having managed to put a large gash in my shin, that couldn't be stitched I was dreading having dressing that stuck to it. These sounded good, and as I knew i had to take a risk and put something over the wound, while expensive I decide these sounded the best option. They were well worth the money. Having started with the 20 x 10cm size, I'm now down to the 5 x 5cm ones. I've taken showers while wearing them and they haven't come off. They normally last about 4 to 5 days before the edges do start to lift, but to be honest that is a good interval to be changing a dressing at (unless there is a lot of erudite then change it more often). They have never stuck to the wound, or hurt to remove. It was a little unnerving the first time, as the pad has glue on it that means it does gently adhere to the skin around the wound, but that just helps support the wound itself and isn't a problem when you remove the dressing. I may use standard plasters on really minor cuts, but I have a feeling that I will be keeping some of the smaller ones in my medical cabinet and using them a lot more often.

Expensive but we'll worth it as it is a first class product. Sticks to the skin very well yet easy to remove and provides excellent cushioning for pressure sores etc.

I have very thin skin, easily damaged and these have to be removed very very carefully or they damage my skin, they are better than many types have tried but are a little too sticky.

I love these dressings, perfect size for what I needed, waterproof and stick well but easy and gentle to remove, cheaper than the ones I had on prescription and just as effective.

These are gentle on the skin but stay on well. They also work well as a second layer to hold a smaller plaster in place.

Probably my mistake ordering a large size. I wanted 12.5 x 12.5 but could only get 15 x 15. They are comfortable but bulky and unwearable under trousers. Also my leg is leaking a lot so maybe not the right choice of plaster.

Dudn't stick that well.

Good quality but very expensive. Used to try and help with bed sores on my feet which were proving to be unbearable. They did help but even though they are adhesive needed to place surgical tape over to stop them moving.
