MED PRIDE Hydrocolloid Dressing 2in by 2in Sterile Adhesive Bandages for Pilonidal Cyst Ulcers Blisters Acne (2'' x 2'' 10 Thin)

If you’re prone to accident and getting boo boo’s you need to have these on hand. I’ve fallen from onewheeling pretty bad and the moist environment makes everything heal faster, less painfully and without scarring compared to just a band aid. They also seal out dirt and debris so you don’t have to worry about infections. They’re made up out of the same stuff as pimple patches but are quite a bit thicker. Super durable, sticky enough to stay on for days until the ooze seeps to the side, then just change it out for a new one. You can cut the to the perfect size. Fantastic value for the money. I have gotten so many people hooked on these. Oh, and since no scab ever forms, you don’t get that super painful tight area that pulls and catches on things. And because of the thickness, if you bump your wound against something, it doesn’t hurt as bad. I’d give these 100 stars if I could!

I love these. I buy them for when my son gets pressure spots beneath his bilateral AFOs (Ankle Foot Orthotics.) They adhere well, stay on for a few days and can be removed without leaving a sticky residue or negatively impacting thevsore. For best results, I recommend holding your hand over the bandage for a few moments for optimal adherence and then soaking them in warm water to remove with ease. I sometimes put his socks over them to prevent him from picking at the bandages. I try to leave them on as long as I can before changing them so as to not disturb the healing process. My son usually hates bandaid but he tolerates these very well. I love that I can cut them to the size(s) I need. I wish they were a little more affordable but compared to other brands, they're priced about right. I've been buying them for years and will continue to do so.

Great quality, protects and sticks to the skin well, pricey and great size. I have been using them for over a decade and they work great.

So I was having problems with red, raw skin round my stoma and decided as they make blister plasters out of hydrocolloid I'd try these. Got a sheet, cut the hole for my stoma, cleaned and dried everything, stuck this on and stuck the iliostomy bag on. Initially this didn't seem to stick well at all, but the belt I always wear ensured it stayed there. Changed it 2 days later and, woah! This thing has stuck like glue to me. Like stuck WAY WAY too well. I'm sure the act of peeling it off put my skin back to what it was before I tried to use it. Also the hydrocolloid didn't 'expand' / 'swell up' like this blister plasters do, so I'm not convinced these are giving me any benefit at all. Due to this I've only used one sheet out of 3 boxes, so a bit of a waste of money for me. (I found a different, better way of sorting my raw skin - mixed up a few antiseptic creams and just apply over damaged skin and then apply bag - changing bag every 2 days until sorted)

These dressings are easy to use and stay in place without peeling up. They’re gentle when removed and don’t cause irritation. We’ve been using them to cover and protect my brother’s sores, and they’ve helped the spots stay clean and heal while keeping the area comfortable. Great quality and value.

This product is a literal lifesaver for me at this price, any major pharmacy, small, Mom n pop places, or chain big box retail stores it is 150% to 200% more money. These Hydrocolloid dressings (bandages) are the best method of covering a wound, once it's on, nothing can get inside and it'll stay sealed that way for days, they're the perfect bandage to help in the healing process. HydoCoilloid bandages as I know are meant mainly for open or infected wounds that need to be covered for a length of time, these will do that for you. They are very large but easily cut to the size needed, this product is the real deal folks, hospital grade dressings, sterile and so easy to use they actually save me time. I ordered these after my wound care Dr.used them on me, I went to the store to purchase some because I was so impressed but once I saw the prices they charged walked out with a 4 or 5 boxes of sterile gauze pads, regular gauze pads sterile gauze rolls and tape, I'm sure that I'm forgetting something but, I left feeling as if I had been robbed, over $40 and what I had was only going to last a week or less, I did a random search on a well know search engine and Amazon showed up as one of the sellers of them, since Amazon is my favorite online shopping site I jumped over there and found the same name brands like these and all the supplies I use in wound care at prices I can afford, honestly, I'm very unhappy at the retail pharmacies that claim they care about our health and all the other stores price markups, shame on you.. Here, on the Amazon store, prices of the exact same items for a fraction of retail price, thank you MED PRIDE and Amazon, the service you and your resellers like MED PRIDE offer is remarkable, your getting the best products out to the everyday person at affordable prices, thanks to this product and the affordability my wounds (some were quite severe) are 100% healed. 5 star product, 5 star company "MED PRIDE" and "Amazon". Thank you.

Some years ago, when hydrocolloid bandages came into the commercial market, I bought some for a cut I had. When I saw how it absorbed fluid, it occurred to me, this stuff could be useful for zits. So, I cut up a bandage into squares and tried it. Sure enough, after one night, the patch had swelled up and the zit had gone down significantly. I used the bandages that way for a few years and then the “acne patches” came out. I’ve now tried numerous brands of acne patches but the companies who produce them are stuck on this idea of making them “ultra thin” and claiming they can be worn in public because they’re “invisible”. Well, that may be so, from a distance but, up close, they are definitely visible. So it seems dumb to me that these acne patch companies sacrifice absorbency for “thinness”. The thicker stuff sucks out SO much more goo. It’s a shame because the precut circles are much easier to use (especially with the perforated backing) but they just don’t make them thick enough. The bandage companies also have gotten on the “thin” wagon, but these are labeled “X-Thin” and they’re more than twice as thick as the thickest acne patches I could find. These absorb very nicely and are ok as far as adhesion goes, tho, I wish they were a bit stickier. Just be sure to get your face sneaky clean and dry before applying and cut your squares large enough to have a good border around the edges of your blemish and get a proper seal. Trust me y’all, this DIY pimple patch is WAY better AND less expensive than the ones made for acne. They do not look pretty but they WORK.

Wanted this to be my solution to my fiancé’s road rash and cuts from his accident but it just caused him pain. I applied it in as directed but after a few hours one side rolled up so we had to reapply a new one. The removal process was terrifying it ripped up his cuts I felt so bad. We tried reapplies a new one again and it rolled up this time we just cut off the piece that rolled off. Super scared to take it off him. We will just wait till it rolls off all around before removal. Ordered 3 packs for $45. Returning of the other 2 unused packs. Guess the one pack we have left will go in the garbage
