Smith and Nephew 66800270 Allevyn Gentle Border Dressing 4" x 4" - Box of 10

I love these bandages!!!!!!!I have a very difficult time with wound care following many biopsies and surgeries due to an adhesive allergy.To accommodate my adhesive allergy, I was using silicone tape and nonstick gauze to cover my wounds, but the process was such a pain and often the tape would curl and come off. It was expensive too, and I used half a roll of tape every day. It was a constant battle and very time consuming. I just wanted to rest after invasive procedures, but instead I was always struggling with wound care every day for weeks.One day I tried this bandage (my cancer doctor gave it to me) and it was a GAME CHANGER! I love how I can clean my wound(s) and end the daily wound care process by easily and quickly sticking this on. It’s hassle free. It doesn’t take much time or effort. It doesn’t cause any breakouts (a miracle because I break out to everything!) It stays in place- even if I’m moving, sleeping, or wearing clothes. I can actually have mobility and it stays in place! These come in different sizes too.They are “pricey,” but when I calculate the cost of silicone tape and nonstick gauze… I actually think these bandages match the other costs, or are cheaper.Lastly, I am a disabled military veteran. I have been purchasing bandages out of my own pocket. I recently asked my USA VA primary care doctor if the VA can write a prescription for these…. and my request was APPROVED!!!! Therefore, if you are a US military veteran, you can get the VA to cover this cost.

These bandages are very easy on the skin, coming off without tearing tender or thin skin. Very protective against clothing or other abrasives.

My husband has been using these bandages for several months now due to open ulcers on his leg. They are a bit costly but stay on nicely, absorb nicely, adhere well and the foam dressing adds a layer of protection for the wounds.

If you have a wound that needs covering, these Silicone bandages are the best. I have a largeSkin graft on my leg and it has a wound on it and this is what they used on it. So I ordered them from Amazonand works out so well. Also used on my hand that I had a Carpal Tunnel surgery done and also added extra padding on that and taking them off of my hand it was so great as it didn't take any skin off like a normal Bandage did .

When we had in home care, this is what the nurses had for bed sores. They go on easy and come off easy. Very good for bed sores

They are good dressings, the sticky borders do require additional taping to keep the dressing in place. That however is on other brands we have used

We bought this in addition to the 4 wheel walker because the first one caused two falls when she attempted to sit on it even though it has brakes; she uses this one around the house and yard. When she sits on it it does not move away from her. She transfers from it to the 4 wheel one whenever she wants. The two unwheeled legs slide smoothly along the floor and act as slide prevention when pressure is applied from placing weight on them. It is lightweight and easy to use; it is not better than the 4 wheel walker but for fall prevention IT IS PERFECT.

Durable and easy to remove from sensitive skin.
