Telfa Ouchless Non-Adherent Dressing, 8 X 10 Inch, Non-Sterile, Covidien 3279 - Pack of 125

I am a burn and general surgeon and use this product (8x10" telfa) extensively in the hospital and in clinic to simplify wound care for burn and major wound patients. It is very easy to use and very inexpensive. Because of its large size it greatly simplifies wound care and you can trim it to fit. Simply paste some ointment/cream on it such as aquaphor, bacitracin, or silver sulfadiazene and then wrap it with a kerlix gauze and elastic bandage or stretch net retention dressing and you have a very easy, reliable, and less painful (because it minimizes sticking) form of wound care that will help with most burns, skin grafts, donor sites, and open wounds. Remember the plastic side goes down. With low exudative wounds or wounds at low risk of infection the dressing can be changed out every 2 to 3 days.

Worked perfect. My husband had leg wounds snd we had to bandage daily. These never stuck to the wounds snd came off easily and painlessly.

i have been in wound care for a while and so many patients are moved to tears every dressing change. I ordered this on a whim cause i could not get my usual non-adherent dressing. both i and my patients have been very satisfied with how it DOES NOT hurt to remove.I put a low score for 'absorbency' cause in my opinion this is not an "absorbent" dressing - it's main purpose is to be minimally adherent. If the wound is heavily exudative then an absorbent layer can be added as a secondary layer

If you're like me, having to help dress the wounds of someone with lymphedema and cellulitis over a significant part of a large, very swollen, area (legs), these pads are a GODSEND. They're non adherent on one side, meaning you don't need like an Adaptic dressing or whatever in between, you won't have to worry about it sticking so hard to the wound that it debrides it (removes a layer or more of flesh) when you don't want it to. It's pretty flexible, and soft, so it's gentle on wounds and relatively easy to wrap around say, a limb.They're also HUGE for a wound pad, (which more commonly tend to come in sizes like 2" by 2", 4"x4" or maybe 3" x 8"), so I only need two per leg even though he's a big guy with a LOT of swelling adding to the girth of the leg; this has cut down significantly on time and struggle with trying to dress the wounds (which are basically everywhere on the lower legs) , compared to having to use those floppy wet Adaptic mesh dressings underneath and/or kludge together a bunch of smaller pads with bandaids or medical tape... which if you're not an octopus, can be a nightmare and take forever. Even with the cleaning, two rolls of gauze per leg, a second layer of more absorbent pads, and one or two ace bandages to hold it all together...it took like, 15 minutes?? Instead of 45 minutes or longer. Given how exhausting dressing these things has been, I'm SO happy I found this particular product, in this big size!For those who want an "expert" opinion, too, I found out yesterday that the Medical Assistant at our local clinic whose specialty is wound care? She prefers Telfa pads as well; she loves everything but the price lol.Also, they seem to be surprisingly absorbent for a pad so thin? Which is very nice. The price, less so, but if you can afford to spring for the upfront cost of a big 125 pack like I did, it works out to less than 50 cents a pad, which is not too shabby, and compared to using a jillian little ones, winds up being more economical in the long run.Literally my only gripe (prices aside) is that with the huge packs of 8x10 pads, they are for some reason not individually wrapped?? The smaller Telfa pads, like the 3"x8" ones, come with each pad in its own individual paper wrapper, which is much easier to store and keep clean before use. Especially since the wrapping for the packaging is paper and fairly easy to tear. But I guess if you have a sterile storage solution or are treating like a rapidly bleeding life threatening trauma wound, having fewer barriers to the pads might be okay?TLDR: if you need a non adherent underlayer for a LARGE section of wound dressing, I highly recommend these. If you're likely to go through a large number of them and can afford the over $50 cost of one, I also highly reccomend getting the 125 packs. But, I do wish the packaging was a little more secure/individually wrapped the pads. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the packaging!

Is the most NON stick wound protection I have ever used in the past 15 years TRUTH!!!! Buy 1 time and you will be hooked...

Covered the wound area so much better than the smaller pads available locally.

The product came very fast which I was glad for did not rum out before it got to me.

Although these are marketed at non-stick, they still often stick to my wife's leg wounds. They are a very nice large size though (8x10)
