AQUACEL Foam 5"x5" Wound Dressing with Silicone Gel Adhesive, Waterproof, Flexible, Medical Grade with Hydrofiber Technology, Sterile, Square, 10ct Box

UPDATE The largest size these come in has REF# 420828 and HCPCS # A6213. They're about 1.25 inches larger. I sure wish Amazon carried them as well. Their prices beat all on these types of items. And Convatec, that tiny bit of adhesive that is on just the edge of even these pads, wish you'd remove that too. ORIG Rewriting this review. Wish Amazon would stop refusing reviews without precisely noting what its violation was. I looked for high exudate bandages since 2017 that DID NOT HAVE ADHESIVE ON THE PAD I can not fathom why any wound would want Glue on it. Lo and behold the image that showed the center NOT SHINY gave me hope. These DO NOT HAVE ADHESIVE ON THE CENTER OF THE PAD. They are a soft Comfortable Treasure. Why the box nor sleeve doesn't SCREAM THIS LITTLE DEATAIL, I DI NOT KMOW. You'll find med practitioners from radiation oncologists to durable goods sales people to wound care nurses have NO CLUE and no concern on the topic. Pulling something with glue off multiple times a day HURTS. I hope these are never discontinued. Insist on Aquacell not the Aquacell Pro. The latter has adhesive all over it. The border external textile is lovely as well. Softer than Everlit, Medscape and Allevyn's. Conforms Feels thinner and more delicate than the waterproof top layers of other dressings.

I first discovered these from home wound care nurses who came to take care of my husband. He is elderly with very thin skin and a fall risk so he bruises and bleeds easily. I was surprised to be able to purchase them on my own as I assumed they only were available as medical supplies. They stay on forever even in the shower. They protect the wound until it heals. Applying them can be a little tricky as they need to be able to lay flat but are well worth it. Far superior to any other type of bandages.

Great product

Hi quality product that works very well.

I purchased these wound dressings because I wanted a very waterproof dressing in order to continue with my aquatic exercising. Unfortunately I realized that my leg wound was getting wet. The bandage was very effective in dealing with oozing from the wound. I will continue to use this Aquacel dressing since it was very easy to apply and its effectiveness to absorb the blood mixture.

For what I needed, GREAT. I had food surgery and needed something to cover AND cushion. If this is for after surgery, would ask your surgeon or wound care doctor. For me, GREAT. Bottomline: While there are cheaper, don't think there are better. They are rather expensive but if you want what works, I would consider these.

Cover my leg wound really well and hold really well no issues wearing it for 4 days before I change it

Bought this for my Mom when her nurse recommended it for a sore on her arch bone which was being irritated by her shoes. She had tried other brands that did not work well, so we were skeptical, but this is the one to buy. It stays put and can last her for a full day no matter how much walking she does. It pads the sore on her foot, so she has no pain. While the price is kind of high, we think it is worth the price because it does what it is intended to do. We would definitely recommend to a family member or friend, and we will buy them again if needed.
