MedVance TM Silicone - Silicone Adhesive Foam Absorbent Dressing, 4"x8", Box of 5 dressings

I use this daily and helps with my sore

Medvance is the best bedsore bandage that I’ve tried. I have tried many and they by far are the most comfortable, the most padded and has the best adhesive.

Adhesive - There is no tape/adhesive border on this. The pad covers the entire size of the bandage, and it is entirely covered in a mild silicone adhesive. Will not trigger any allergies to latex or typical adhesives, I've used it over a month with no rash or swelling. The adhesive is good enough to hold the thing in place as long as you DO NOT MOVE that body part. You might need some additional tape on two or more edges to really secure it in place though, especially if it is on a joint or if you'll be putting clothing on over the bandage. But it's at least good enough to hold the bandage in place while you get your other tape ready. Might even hold all day by itself if you are VERY GENTLE about it. Good news is, it will not stick to your wound when it's time to remove the bandage. Peels off easily and painlessly, without putting any stress on the edges of your wound or stitches or whatever. Absorbent pad - The pad is super absorbent. Good for medium to high drainage wounds. High drainage case should change it daily. Medium drainage case maybe every 2-3 days. Really good at drawing moisture, blood, etc. away from the skin and into the pad. But once it gets saturated it's definitely time to change it. It is quite thick, but also very soft, so it feels pretty good against the skin but if you're putting clothing or additional dressing over it then it might seem a bit lumpy around the edges. If you're trying to hide it from the public eyes, wear baggy clothes on top. Can be cut with scissors to fit weird geometry as needed, but works best if you keep it close to the original size/shape. Price - If your condition requires these kinds of bandages for long-term use (as mine does) you're likely not going to be happy with the price. They are quite expensive. But for high drainage wound care, they are SO MUCH BETTER than regular gauze pads or the cheaper less-absorbent pads. Worth paying a little more if you really need this level of fluid absorption; probably not worth it if you have a light-drainage wound. Especially worth it if you have a latex allergy or some kind of reaction to most typical adhesives, since this one hasn't triggered my allergies or rash after a month of use.

Very satisfied with it.

Sticks great and one of the cheapest ones for what it is. I get the big sheets and then cut it to whatever size I need.

Read the instructions carefully- you need to put a gauze pad over the actual wound before you put this on top of the gauze. The whole dressing is covered with adhesive and you don't want to have it glued directly to your wound.

Works great on pressure wounds for elderly

Item arrived as described. Good value. Will buy again.
