Dynarex Dürma+ DynaDerm™ Hydrocolloid Dressing - Sterile Bordered Wound Patch - Water-Resistant - Flexible Protection - Thin - 2" x 2" - 20 per Box

I was researching the best wound dressings, and hydrocolloid was one of them. I had never heard about it before, but I realized I wanted something more effective than a regular Band-Aid once I was in the granulating stage. Worth the money spent. It helped my scrape from running heal nicely, and I was able to shower with it. The cushioning also helped at times when I had to kneel and put pressure against the wound. This hydrocolloid dressing is also more effective with the coverage it provides, whereas the absorbent pad on regular large fabric bandages is not big enough to protect everything.

I am so grateful for these bandages. I had a horrible, painful, inflamed, deep zit that was killing me. I cut a small piece of this bandage and put it on overnight and when I woke up the swelling had reduced by probably 75% and was significantly less painful. These are a great value because you can cut them up to be pimple sized so you can get probably six, maybe more, pimple patches out of every square depending on how big/small you cut it. It’s got adhesive on the whole bandage so it will definitely stick no matter where you cut, and the adhesive is strong enough to stay put but won’t hurt when you take it off. They’re significantly more effective than the pimple patch dots and can be left on a lot longer, allowing the pimple to drain and heal in a moist environment which leads to less scarring and a quicker heal time. Granted, they’re thick and definitely not invisible, but no one is going out right now anyway! I’ve also used them to remove splinters when I had an unfortunate run in with a cactus and the spines got stuck under my skin and when I got a piece of glass stuck deep in my skin. Pulled them right out! These are a must have.

1st of all, these things are amazing for healing cuts and bruises. Here are some things that I learned from doctors after going to urgent care while using this over my knee wound. BTW, Consult your doctor yourself... I'm just sharing what I was told. 1) apparently, you don't need to use Neosporin or anything else between this and the wound. This is supposed to promote natural healing 2) you're supposed to leave this in place for a few days... Without messing with it 3) it's not good for knees and elbows because it doesn't stick, keeps coming off, and you need to keep replacing it.

As advertised; worked well; nice and beefy thick. Didn't work well for my intended use as I was teaching a kid how to clean, debride, and dress his wound. The trouble with hydrocolloid dressings is resisting the urge to peel it back and peak! I get it, I do, but these can get pricey for daily use. The adhesive wasn't great - plan on taping it down. However, if you have a small wound that you get scrubbed out and clean; you can slap one of these on, tape it down, and leave it for a couple of days; replacing when it gets slimy and pale. Having a covered, moist environment really helps to avoid scarring (IMO) and infections. These aren't huge - don't think any owie bigger than an inch square could be well covered.

Small hydrocolloid dressings at an affordable price. Be sure to use an adhesive-enhancing wipe to help affix the patch and use tape to make a windowpane dressing so the patch will stay put. Otherwise, expect it to roll off if you shear your skin around the dressing. The patches are nice, small, and work great on pressure areas or other wounds.

Good patch with "duoderm" or "dynaderm". Very strong adhesive, which is "waterproof". A patch meant to last several days. Do NOT let the adhesive touch the "wound" or at removal time, it will be VERY painful. It is non-breathable.

I'm so impressed. These work very well. I'm using them to treat my nodular acne because the ones designed for that purpose are way too small and way too expensive. I never had bad acne until right after high school.... but it came on with a vengeance; huge, swollen, incredibly painful pimples that lasted for weeks. I could never afford expensive drugs or dermatologist visits, so I suffered. As I've gotten older, my flare-ups come and go, but I have been still looking for something to help them. These patches are changing my life. If you're like me and need to cover large spaces on your face those tiny circles just won't cut it. These work extremely well to prevent acne from forming. Use them on your trouble spots and suck the gunk out BEFORE it can get infected and turn into a hideous pimple. The pics I posted are the aftermath of one night of wear on the places I usually get flare ups. I did not have any "active" pimples while I wore these. All that white stuff is regular, uninfected sebum hanging out in my pores! It was just waiting to turn into nasty acne.... but not anymore! As with any hydrocolloid dressing they work fantastic for treating already formed acne as well, but prevention is key! I am happy to say that for the first time in 10 years I might have a chance at clear skin. 😊

I should not be allowed in the kitchen and have found myself with some butter burns. Once able I have used several of these to cover the burn marks so they can blister and heal on their own without worry or pain. One week later and the small marks are healed with minimal visual remnants. Yes, some hydrocolloid bandages you can cut - however ones like this have an adhesive edge and all 4 edges need to be in contact with your skin to stick. IF you cut this bandage you will have to tape it down to keep it in place - tegaderm/opsite/any other brand of breathable bandage will work wonders. I have another week to go on the rest of my burns but I have no doubt I will be left with minimal markings and no scarring. Ordering more for the next time - because there always is a next time sadly
