Dürma+ DynaDerm™ Hydrocolloid Dressing - Sterile Non-Bordered Wound Patch - Water-Resistant - Flexible Protection - X-Thin - 4" x 4" - 10 per Box, 12 Boxes per Case

Update 05/10/19: As I've had some recent crashes I have some tips that I've figured out through trial and error. You can indeed cut these to shape but I would allow at least 3/4 to 1 inch overlap past the wound to ensure a good bond to your skin. If you have to go over a joint like an elbow or knee I would apply it with the joint half flexed/bent rather than fully bent. I found the bandage likes to peel up when the joint is not bent if applied when it is fully bent, whereas there is some stretch in the bandage and it can stretch enough and not come off. You can also cut small slits in the bandage where the joint is (allow for some extra bandage coverage here) and then overlap the bandage on top of itself so it doesn't bunch up. These do work really great and allow you to totally avoid the scab part of the healing process. They heal much faster than letting the wound scab over as evidenced by my shins that are still scabbed over compared to my elbow that is fully healed (I injured my elbow a week after the shins!). Original Review: This is the perfect type of bandage for road rash or other bike related scrapes. It sticks well to the unaffected skin around the wound and provides great relief from the pain normally associated with gauze or bandages rubbing against the wound. It does not stick to the wound itself and absorbs the moisture that is released while healing. It lasted around 4-5 days between needing to change it and was waterproof which allowed me to shower without having to change the bandage. You can trim the bandage to size as needed so the larger size worked great for me. While I diligently try not to fall when mountain biking it does happen and this is definitely the bandage to use.

This couldn't be a better value for the money! I bought these instead of a package of zit stickers. Just one of these 4x4 pads would replace a whole box of zit stickers for the same price! You can totally use a hole punch to make nice circles to put over zits, or you can just use scissors (keep in mind that circle shapes are less likely to catch on clothing or sheets while sleeping). I've been researching hydrocolloid patches and the science behind these demonstrates the longer you can leave these on, the better - most wounds do not really need to "air out" and this type of "wet healing" works so much better/quicker. However, if you do wear these out in public, they're not "invisible" and none of the zit stickers I've used have been. No patch is really going to lend itself to cover-up well, so if you need it on your face, overnight is really the best option and then just use a new one the next day unless you don't mind people noticing - it's not as obvious as a bandaid, but you can tell they're there. These also work for all sorts of other cuts/abrasions aside from zits. I scraped up my knee pretty badly playing beach volleyball the other week and used a 1.5" square patch on it for a couple days and it worked wonders for healing those scrapes quicker and pulling out all the gross gunk. You can also use these as blister bandages, but be aware that they only pull gunk out of de-roofed blisters, but will still provide some mild cushioning over a blister with its roof intact. Great value for the money! Each 4x4 square comes in individual sterile packaging, and there were enough in the box that I didn't mind giving one to my sister and a friend. These will last for a LONG time.

I ordered these to cover road rash on my left knee, just below the knee cap. I fell on a Tuesday evening and had been applying non-stick gauzes with thick layers of triple antibiotic ointment. I changed the dressing twice daily and cleaned the wound in the shower every morning. However if you’ve been through this you know the gauze still sticks to the wound. These were delivered in Friday and although I was apprehensive at first they worked perfectly. On Saturday I was able to wear pants over the pad although there was still significant drainage. The pad did not perfectly seal the wound because waking flexed that entire area of the knee and crated air pockets. Since the wound was open I still used antibiotic ointment, washed, and changed these pads daily. By Monday I noticed a significant improvement in the wound. Drainage was minimal and I was able to flex the knee more and with less pain. The pad is great at absorbing the excess moisture without drying out the wound. Whenever I changed the pad I just gently peeled from a corner and worked the entire edge. The pad did not stick to the wound at all. The picture shown is after 8 days of wearing the pads. I no longer dress the wound with anything but moisturize the area with aloe and vitamin E oil after showering. Hope this helps in giving an idea of what to expect.

Bought this after I crashed my mountain bike and had fairly deep gravel rash on my elbow. It seemed like it would never stop weeping and the 'non-stick' gauze they sent me home with from Urgent Care kept sticking to the wound so badly that I had to soak it off. This stuff is brilliant. It's the first time I've used it but glad I have some left over in case of emergency. It sticks well and the white parts on the dressing is not puss or anything disgusting, it's the gel in the dressing that does some kind of magic on the weeping parts of the wound to keep them moist and let them scab over. The photo is on my elbow, so looks a bit strange, but used 3 of these changing them every 2 days before I transitioned to Tegaderm.

Got this to use for post-op wound openings because I've used hydrocolloid in the past for bad acne and knew I wasn't allergic or sensitive to it. These patches are great, and I've found that I can cut them into quarters and use them that way (because my wounds are very small and close together), which is great because the one downside to these is the adhesive is VERY strong. Like, put this on and plan to leave it on for days until it wilts on its own strong. Like, maybe don't use them on any particularly sensitive body areas strong. The actual hydrocolloid aspect works really well and has helped clear a lot of slough for me. I honestly think these are helping me heal a bit faster than before, and I'm certainly less worried about the wounds when they're covered by these.

Literally the best product I’ve ever discovered for my skin. If you get acne and can’t stop yourself from picking at it, you NEED these. Either put it over acne to protect it from your own prying, or it you do pop a pimple, put a piece on to suck out all the bad stuff and heal up the wound you made. I use a pair of (clean, designated for this use only) scissors to cut the sheets into tiny pieces, whatever size or shape I need, and one sheet alone can last for weeks if you don’t have many problems. Even if you decide to go wild and cover your entire face in bandage, one sheet can be cut into plenty of little squares and triangles to cover your entire face. They’re also useful for areas where your face is super oily and your pores have become very large as a result, put some patch on overnight and it will help suck the oil out and in the morning your pores will be much smaller and cleaner. I have also used them on ingrown hairs, put it on the irritated bump overnight and it will help reduce swelling and make it easier to get the hair out of your skin, they even adhere just fine to inner groin areas. I can’t imagine living without these now, I always have a pack on hand and recommend them to literally every single person I know.

I got these with the intention of cutting them up into smaller pieces but realized that they were slightly different products when they arrived. They still do the job and aren't worth the hassle of returning, but there is a decent size overhang of thinner bandage and the middle is very thick unlike the images that show the same thickness through just about the entire thing. I noticed the box i received also just says "Thin" rather than "X-Thin" like the other reviews and picture descriptions. I think the wrong product may have been sent by mistake but unfortunately there's no way to contact the seller and I don't think its worth returning in the hopes that I do get the right thing next time. tl;dr: It does the job good enough, the price is better than other hydrocolloid bandaids , but i was either sent the wrong product or the product changed and they just never updated the listing. Just be aware if the thinner margin and thicker middle matters to you!

I ordered the two boxes and they both came, so I have 20 really large hydrocoloid Band-Aids that are quite thick and I can cut them down if I need. 20 for $22 is really good! If I needed them again I would order these and I will definitely tell my family and friends about them. This is very good quality for such a good price. They're pretty thick for a pimple patch, but if you're only going to wear them at night, cut it up and put it on.
