MedvanceSilver Foam Dressing with PU Backing (4inx4in,5 Pieces/Box)

Helps healing your wound

And do what they're supposed to do. Please note that they are NOT adhesive! I know that should seem obvious, but other reviewers have said that they *are* which is why I bought them instead of the million dollar mepilex ones. Buy the million dollar mepilex ones if you need adhesive; buy these if you have a support system in place

This bandage has been excellent in terms of value and use, once you know what you're dealing with.Things to note before purchase:1. When Amazon tells you that this is packaged in a box that tells you what it is and asks if you'd like it to be in an Amazon box instead, choose the Amazon box. Having it shipped without that option means that the unsecured box of bandages gets a sticker slapped on it and put in the mail as is. No tape keeping the box closed and no protection from destruction or other damage of your sterile bandages.2. This is a cuttable and adhesive silver alginate dressing. However, the film covering the adhesive side does not have any edge to grasp it by, and it is quite firmly attached. I discovered that it is much easier to release the film from the dressing if you lightly rub the film with a rubbing alcohol-moistened cotton ball. This allows that film to come up a bit and be peeled off to expose the adhesive without ruining the dressing. Also, if you wish to remove the dressing before it's used up, you can moisten the edge of the dressing where it is attached to the skin with water or rubbing alcohol and gently remove it without tugging on your healing skin.All in all, it has done what I've needed but I wish that the use instructions for it had been better to keep me from having to struggle to find a way to use this as advertised before discovering the rubbing alcohol trick.

This stuff has been a God-send for my poor, horribly painful finger! My cat got her claw down in between the fingernail and the flesh on the side of it. As a result, the flesh under the skin swelled up until it poked through the skin and protruded up between nail and side of finger. I had never experienced an injury like this before; for such a small area it throbbed and hurt all over my body. Not Antibiotic ointment or anything else I tried worked. After researching the problem, I found out it is called granulation tissue and can also be the result of burns. Soaking the finger four times a day in a cup of warm water and a teaspoon of salt, then applying this anti microbial foam directly on the wound and covering it with a nonstick bandage - or gauze with tape over it - has resulted in healing. I must say that at first it was painful because the nitrate (or whatever it is in the foam that pulls out the moisture and infection from the injured flesh) stings! But grin and bear it because that means it is doing its job! The stinging, which will stop after a while, I’d much preferred to the ongoing pain of the wound!!This product arrived exactly as promised

Needed a foam transfer dressing. Supposed to be highly absorbent without silicone adhesive, not waterproof.I cut multiple slits in the film backing and was able to use it but was very disappointed because the transfer foam dressing is hard to find.
