Ourmed Hydrocolloid Bandages 2" x 4", 10 Pack Wound Dressing with Self-Adhesive, Fast Healing Patch for Bed Sore, Burn, Blister, Acne Care, Superficial Wound

Worked well for healing a large patch of road rash on my forearm. I think they helped minimize any scarring. It protected the area quite well and kept me from picking at it. I didn't get hard scabs that might have cracked, or caught on clothing, etc. As the area got smaller, I cut these down with a scissors, to use them more efficiently. These definitely were more convenient than gauze pads and tape or regular adhesive bandages.

I am very impressed by these bandages. I used it at the beach to cover my injured toenail. I was able to cut it up in strips and wrap my toe. It kept my toe clean from sand and dry from the water even though I sat with my feet in the water all day. It was practically glued to me when I tried to remove it at night.

Great hydrocolloid bandages. When you first apply they are Very easy to take off, willingly or unintentionally. So be mindful. After a while they sort of “seat/adhere” to the skin better. Then they “stay put”. These bandages are MASSIVE. That’s a good thing for sure. I needed rather large ones and compared to the offerings from other manufacturers these are the largest that I’ve seen so far. And the quality is VERY GOOD. The only drawback is these bandages do not have “thin borders that make it a little less easy to remove them unintentionally. Until your body temp warms them, the edges can be “bumped” and accidentally peeled off. Just be careful of that and these are a winning product. That is the only reason why I didn’t give this bandaged a 5 out of 5.

These have so many uses! You can cut them to size and use as pimple patches, the are the best thing to put over a blister, or any time you need a waterproof seal over a wound. You can treat healed scars with them to help them flatten and fade. You can use them for wrinkle treatment/prevention on the forehead, neck or chest. I even use then over bentonite clay to draw out splinters, tiny shards of glass, or infection from my skin overnight, and it sure beats my old habit of covering the area with plastic wrap. These are a staple in my house, so I have then on autoship.

This a great bandage for wounds ,however it does not last all day and it's not quite waterproof. It will start to peel off after 8 hrs. But this still was better than a regular bandage. I required 2 a day. One for the day and one for the night. But overall well worth the protection it does provide.

Update: After posting this review, the company reached out to me and offered mena full refund which I received promptly. I also took this opportunity to ask about the possibility of latex or latex adjacent products in their products. I received prompt responses (they assured me non of their products have any latex at all) and also a promise to take my experience to their team that works on improving and deveoping products. I understand that while these did not help me at all and actually made things worse, they may work well for others, so I just want to say that my experience with the product was poor, but to be fair, the company did a good job doing what they could to make it better and fix it for the future, so I am changing this review to reflect that. Sometimes some things aren't for everyone, but the fact that this company will continue to strive towards better quality and take customer feedback seriously counts for something. Changing this fromc1 star to 3. 04/28/2024 I had a open wound that required wet wound care, and the doctor recommended at a certain stage I use hydrocolloid bandages. The injury was rather deep and took a long time to heal, and I ran out of the hydrocolloid bandages from a different company and decided to order these since they were reasonably priced compared to other similar options. They arrived in good shape, individually wrapped, and clean. I had no concerns using them based on the way they were packaged. Actually, the packaging was really good with batch numbers and such on every bandage, well sealed thick seemingly sterile plastic, and I felt more secure using them after seeing the individually wrapped bandages. I cleaned the wound and applied the first bandage. Then the problems started. Up to this point, the wound had been healing nicely, and I had had no issues. The next morning after applying the first hydrocolloid bandage from ourmed, I noticed the area around the wound was itchy and irritated. Upon investigating I saw that the whole bandage had come away from my skin, and was bunched up and left the wound exposed. I should mention that the wound was less than an inch across and wide, and these were 4x4 inch bandages so there was more than enough bandage around the wound on all sides so there should not have been any wound exposed on any side. I removed the bandage and cleaned the wound, made sure the skin was dry, and reapplied a new bandage, this time being sure not to bend my leg or do anything that could cause the bandage to shift or move before it had had time to adhere properly. The bandage appeared to be well applied and stuck on sufficiently, so I carried on with my day. Within a few hours, my skin was again feeling irritated. Again, the bandage had come away from the skin, but not as badly as the first one. Had it stopped with finding they didn't stick well, I would have just taped down the edges and kept using them. However, I noticed that the skin where the bandage had been was very red in the exact shape as the bandage, and was warm to the touch and uncomfortable. This forced me to leave the hydrocolloid bandage off, risking the wet environment the wound needed for proper healing. I had no choice by to apply a medicine to the wound to keep it moist, and keep my leg up while trying to figure out how to cover it again. While keeping the bandage off a few hours, I saw the skin where the bandage had been had become scaly and red. It looked like it was chapped or sunburnt, but with much worse peeling. This was from the rash the bandage created. I have no issue with other brands of hydrocolloid bandages left on for several days, so it made no sense to me that while it didn't stick well, it appeared to have taken off a lot of skin and left it raw and painful. I have a slight allergy to latex which causes rashes, but I had checked to be sure these didn't contain latex. I ended up having to wrap the wound with gauze and change the dressings often which was contraindicated for healing. Acfer several days, I tried again with these bandages as the ones I ordered to replace of these ones were delayed and I couldn't find anything in a brick and mortar store. Again within 12 hours I had a repeat of the last 2 applications. It has been several weeks since the wound closed, and since I needed to bandage it. The skin around the wound is just healing now. It became shiny and red, and then scaly and peeled for a few weeks just from applying these bandages 3 times over 2 days. Hydrocolloid bandages are meant to be worn for several days and I should have never needed 3 in 2 days, but also should not have experienced the complications with the wound, as well as the additional injury to the healthy skin where the bandage was applied. I have NO doubt that if I applied a clean bandage from the ourmed ones I received, I would have another reaction and what I can only assume is a chemical burn of some sort wherever I placed it. This was painful and irritating, as well as scary when there was an open wound involved. I don't know if there was sterility issues or not, if it was made with improper or inferior ingredients, or if there was some type of adhesive applied that was not as it should be for skin. These didn't stick well at all which by itself could cause an issue with sterile wet wound care, but it was even worse that it caused such a bad reaction to the skin. It's too soon to tell, but it looks like it is going to leave at least temporary scarring to the effected skin. I have used several other brands of hydrocolloid bandages and have had no issues with any of rhem. Also, I bought the thin version of these as there was minimal weeping or draining left with the original wound at the time I chose the thickness so I should have been fine, or better off even, with the thin version. I don't know if it was because something was different with the thin version, if it was a bad batch, or an inferior ingredients but I'm not willing to go through all this again, so I will be throwing away an almost full box of these and will not buy them again. I do not recommend these and despite the extra cost, it is actually better to pay more. Since I could not use them I paid even more than if I had gone with a brand at a much higher price point. Lesson learned, and if I ever have another open wound or burn requiring hydrocolloid bandages, I will be steering clear of this brand.

After writing this review, I looked at the other reviews and did some research. I learned the need to warm up the patch before trying to use it. Since learning that we have had success. I will also add that after this review was published the seller immediately contacted me to offer a refund, which I did not take since it was not the products issue. However, I do believe the information about needing to warm the patch needs to be found on either the box or clearly stated in the listing. The product works really well, even sticking when my son wears it all day and goes to water polo practice. I tried multiple times to get these to adhere to my son's foot, bottom of his foot. They were barely sticky and would not adhere. There were so many positive reviews that I was hopeful but disappointed when we received and tried to apply.

Ich nutze die Pflaster primär zur Behandlung und Linderung meiner hormonellen Akne im Gesicht. Ich bin absolut begeistert! Die Pflaster sind leicht auf den betroffenen Stellen anzubringen, können bei Bedarf zugeschnitten werden, haften hervorragend von selbst und sind super verträglich (Allergiker sollten vorab zur Sicherheit ggf. an einer kleinen Hautstelle testen). Sie schmiegen sich mit leichtem Druck nach wenigen Augenblicken an die Haut, verschließen offene Wunden luftdicht gegen äußere Irritationen und Verunreinigungen und hinterlassen trotz der polsternden Wirkung kein unangenehmes Tragegefühl. Im Gegenteil! Ich kann die Pflaster wunderbar mehrere Stunden (am liebsten sogar über Nacht) oder länger tragen, ohne dass sie sich lösen oder stören würden. Zur Wirksamkeit: das Prinzip der feuchten Wundheilung setzt spürbar (und sichtbar durch das transparente Design) bereits nach 10-60 Minuten ein. Auch auf die Narbenbildung hat das Pflaster nach meiner Erfahrung einen positiven, sichtbaren Effekt. Die Wasserdichtigkeit, z.b. beim Duschen oder Schwimmen, konnte ich bisher noch nicht testen, aber ich bin mir sicher auch da halten die Pflaster, was sie versprechen. Nachdem ich schon vieles an (auch teuren!) dermatologischen Cremes, Salben und Patches mit mehr oder minder gutem Ergebnis ausprobiert habe, kann ich guten Gewissens behaupten: Die Pflaster haben mir wirklich auch ein stückweit Lebensqualität zurück gebracht - und das zu einem fairen Preis! Ein tolles Produkt, das ich seither immer in der Hausapotheke habe - eben auch für die kleinen Hautverletzungen/Schürfwunden des Alltags. Absolut empfehlenswert und jeden Cent wert! :-)

Parfait, facile d’application. On peut juste découper pour les boutons, ça permet de protéger le bouton et d’aider à sa guérison. Super fin et tiens bien sûr la peau.

Does what it is supposed to do, sticks well. I cut these in small patches to use as pimple patches, as it is the same material. It works a lot better than cheap options from China, and is a lot cheaper compared to pimple patches from good brands.

Apósitos idóneos para llagas delicadas que necesitan buena higiene y protección cutànea local.

Ottimo prodotto! Funzionano alla perfezione!
