365 Film Island Dressing 5 x 7.2 cm - Pack of 50 (Ref 36590019)

Great product dose exactly as required easy to apply provided instructions are followed has to go on first time will not stick if repositioning waterproof great for shower

We were introduced to these dressings after having them applied after hubby had minor hospital treatment. They have a soft white dressing pad and the outside sticky area is transparent and really flexible. The transparent sticky bit (it's a "film" means that you only see the white dressing pad unless you are close up so not intrusive.There is a 2-point process of putting these on; you peel the paper from the sticky side of the dressing as you would as when sticking a normal Elastoplast plaster or similar. Once in place and stuck to the skin you then remove a top layer of plastic which reveals the whole of the dressing and allows you to smooth out any wrinkles, if any.These dressings are waterproof for showering and prevent any staining from the wound coming through and marking clothes and ruining bed sheets, etc. They will stop on for days/week.These are the best dressings we have come across and was happy to see them available on Amazon so we could purchase by non-medical professionals/companies. For larger wounds they are far superior than the standard plaster which these days seem to have less and less stickiness on them and fall off with movement.One observation only is though they stick perfectly, we would suggest not applying a new one straight after showering or bathing as if you are really warm, anything you apply to your skin will slide off or not stick well. Wait until cooled down a bit. Similarly, if you have use a heavy moisturiser in the area of the dressing, we would suggest putting the dressing on first and moisturise around it to allow it maximum stickiness for the longest time.These dressings are welcome addition to a medical kit, come in different sizes as well as the new Elastoplast Finger strips for finger wounds which wind round your finger and don't keep falling off.Came as a box of 50, flattened in an envelope for transportation, but box was in envelope so could be reconstructed to put the dressings back in for storage in medical kit or cupboard.

I was first introduced to 365 film dressings whilst in hospital recovering after an operation. Couldn’t believe how waterproof they were, I showered several times a day & they remained in situ, fully adhered keeping my wounds fully dry. I decided to purchase more as I was so impressed with their effectiveness. They come in a range of sizes, but found these (5 x 7.2 cm) perfect for keyhole surgery wounds. Highly recommended much better than ordinary plasters & such a good price.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Good value

I use these where the affected area needs to be kept dry or requires an especially smooth finish with edges that don't usually peel.Always follow the instructions.This product is a medical device and is designed for use as specified in its leaflet.If you are applying these dressings, make sure the skin is completely dry (i.e. not immediately after bathing even if you have towelled dry) allow the skin to become dry naturally first. Also do not use on skin that has be moisturised as it will not stick at all.Be patient with the application and smooth the dressing all around its edges before you remove the top cover.

Excellent stuff

Could maybe do with being just a fraction bigger for the purpose I got them for. Stays in place even in the shower

Brilliant needed new medical wound dressing like I had from the hospital from surgery and these are great and stick well Highly recommend to anyone
