Value Aid Low Adherent Dressing Pads - 10cm x 10cm Hypoallergenic Sterile Wound Care, Non-Stick Surface for Gentle Removal - Individually Wrapped Medical Dressings for Cuts & Grazes (25 Pack)

Another one for the first aid kit. They do the job, then you throw them away! But the price is right.

Extremely good for use where a wound is in a place that receives pressure or friction.

These are little non adhesive dressings. Not the best quality I have ever bought, but OK. I was mistakenly under the impression, from other people's review pictures, that this would be a low adhesive sticky square, with a dressing in the middle. It is not, and I cannot return as I opened one. They are still OK for dressings but you will need adhesive tape or a bandage to hold this in place as it has no means to fix it to the body.

Review for ValueAid 7.5x7.5 Low Adherent Dressing Pads: Glad I ordered these, thought being cheap they would be just gauze like, but they're not, they're a good size square edge cotton/lint inner material sandwiched between two breathable shiny outer material which reduces the gunk from a open wound from sticking as much to the dressing, whilst still absorbing the wetness of the gunk/blood, and you don't need to look to find the right side to apply which is a bonus. Each dressing is individually sealed, and sealed well, but with the flaps you pull to open the dressing and keep it sterile, my ones have an expiary date of 2029, but we all know we keep dressing in a first aid box long after the expiary date. They feel comfy and soft against the skin, I really can't fault them, better than what came with my first aid kid that's for sure!

I have to dress my husband's sometimes ulcerated shins and often have to cobble 2 dressings together to fully cover the wound without there being an adhesive strip between the two. With well known high street chemist brand i can do this before i place the dressing, not with these - read on. You'll notice on the outside side of these pads that they appear to have an abutting tape strip in the centre. DO NOT REMOVE THIS TILL AFTER DRESSING IS FIXED IN PLACE. Once the dressing is in place, you pull back each of these strips and it creates a sort of cling film / vaccuum effect around the pad in the centre to prevent leaks. Do it before the dressing is in place and the adhesive strips just collapse. If you use a dressing close to the ankle where the leg is narrower, then cut v shaped chevrons into the lower side of the tape before doing anything else then proceed as normal and it will fit better. They absorb; they don't stick to the wound and damage skin on removal (I change dressings once a day); they appear to stay in place during the night. They work once you learn the technique of applying them. I've bought them more than once and can recommend them.

Does its job, though adhesive is poor and does not hold on as long as other dressings throughout the day. One thing I found annoying is that it would come undone everytime overnight in a blanket, I would stay away from wearing long pants as these seem to fall off in a normal day. Unfortunately I would not recommend this product.

Helpful to have at home for accidents.

Good value dressings, but for my they don’t adhere as well as some others do, hence the four stars review
