KENDALL CURITY TELFA NON ADHERING GAUZE PADS 3" X 4" 100/BOX Review

KENDALL CURITY TELFA NON ADHERING GAUZE PADS 3' X 4' 100/BOX
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are, as an earlier reviewer, superb *non-adherent* pads for wound care. ("Non-adherent" means they won't stick to the wound -- a good thing, much appreciated by both patient and caretaker.) That said, it's important to know that greater absorption may be necessary in some situations (such as post-op), so be sure to ask a medical professional who knows the nature of the wound you're dealing with to make sure this is the correct type of gauze pad to buy. We wound up having to buy a different type to accommodate drainage, but I'm still glad to have these on hand for emergencies.

Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film Wipes - One Pack of 25 Review

Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film Wipes - One Pack of 25
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Every time you remove adhesive tape from skin, it takes skin cells with it.This stuff (Cavilon Barrier Film Wipes), which is very easy to use, provides a layer for the tape to take instead of skin.You wipe a wet sponge applicator on the skin, and the fluid dries to a clear plastic coating.
Personal story:A couple of years ago, someone close to me was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.Given that, she has been very lucky (living almost normally now, and cancer-free for 2 years now), but her medical life since her Whipple surgery has included reconstructive surgeries whose complications have resulted in chronic wounds, hence the need for lots of dressing-changes -- including those with tape-adhered gauze on top and the VAC therapy kind (adhered with a large adhesive sheet, changed twice a week).She's in her late 70's, and the cancer surgery complications left her skin somewhat fragile.
We found out about barrier film wipes (Cavilon brand) from the homecare nurse who came to change her VAC dressing; they also had them (Allkare brand) at the wound care center at a local hospital we visited.There's a spray version of this product, by the way, but the wipes give more control of application (keeping barrier substance out of the wound, for example).
These wipes may seem a little pricey, but they're well worth it, to save fragile skin from irritation which can cause pain and possibly lead to skin break-down and even infection.
I prefer the Cavilon brand, which has in each packet a one-use tiny sponge applicator.Another family member prefers the Allkare brand because the applicator, which is more like a tiny square of thick paper-towel, is "jucier".
Be advised:whichever brand you use, there will be a build-up of residue left where no tape is put over the applied barrier film/fluid, so that has to be dealt with.You can peel it off (easier if you first apply an extraneous layer of the barrier fluid), but it can flake, so you have to take care to keep the plastic flakes/particles out of the wound area.They make wipes of adhesive-tape remover that can be used to remove this barrier film residue also.Allkare makes one that you have to cleanse the skin after using.Triad makes one that does not require cleansing afterwards.They seem to me to work about equally well.
(Of course, if regular showering/bathing is allowed, the plastic residue should come off easily with a little soap&water and gentle scrubbing.)

Hypafix? Dressing Retention Sheets - 2 in x 10 yds Roll Review

Hello, my name is frog.
I am a bandaid/bandage/1stAid freak.
I am not however, a hypochondriac.
I just like to have the best stuff when the best stuff is suddenly (or required pre-procedure) needed. This tape is the very best I have EVER found. It came to me via my dermatologist. It breathes, it adheres, it sticks (to any angle, any direction, over anything). Furthermore, removing it is painless. There is never anything sticky left behind // it bends & adheres like nothing known to man // recomendations to friends & family will result in further recommendations via the inquisitives.... and perhaps even an extra nice gift @ xmas time! Some even say it works for blister protection when breaking in new shoes... haven't gone there yet but might should I ever need to. This tape is rocket science, it's rad, it's dude-you-need-to-get-some, it's absolutely the best and last tape you will ever need when it comes to 1st aid or post medical procedures. It goes way beyond 'the bee's knees'. Your wounds will thank you; your mental being will thank you; healing has never been where this tape can take you. Think the TV remote, think tupperware, think cell phones, think 'the greatest gifts to mankind's evolution'.... this tape follows upon the same line for it is 'the first & last tape' you will ever need; it is god's gift to the world. It goes beyond anywhere else you will ever need to go. Anything you feel the need to cover with 1st aid tape (whether it be cloth or paper tape) -- you'll never go back to the crap found at your local drugstore. A bandaid, gauze pad, telfa pad, you-name-it ---- this is the last tape you will ever buy to cover and protect it!

I went through major surgeries that required a lot of bandaging, only to discover that I got contact rashes from ALL the tapes!!I kind nurse introduced me to Hypafix, and its awesome.It does not curl when you pull off the back and get stuck to itself. It has nice cutting grids on the back.It breathes.It sticks great, put still peels off without major pain. But best of all - it does not leave me covered in painful rashes.Thank goodness, all this healing I have to do just got way more tolerable!
