Biatain Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressing 10cm x 10cm Pack of 5

Great dressings. Soft and easy to get off. Well made.

I came across these as a dressing when nurses used them, first for my mother and then my father. If you, or those you care for has delicate skin which tears these are a must. I used them recently on my father who had torn large chunks of skin right off his arms when falling. They are fantastic in terms of staying on long enough to give the body enough time to start growing back skin. They also are padded so reduce the risk of further damage and absorbent. They do cost a lot more than plasters but be assured they are nothing like plasters in quality and use. Not something to use on everyday cuts and grazes but really work on wounds that are not quite bad enough to justify a visit to the doctor.

Good product, does the job, but expensive.

Just what we needed.

They are exactly what the Doc used for a wound. Arrived so quickly and did the job well

My wife managed to get a nasty gash on her arm and it was taking time to heal.These dressings have a soft skin friendly silicone edge and adhesive. The dressing pad is well cushioned and very absorbent . These are very similar to the market leader of this type of dressing but at a more reasonable price point. I can recommend these as they have definitely help my wife's arm heal and the cushioning they provide helps if you accidentally catch the area that's injured.

good

I can't say I'm overly impressed. I bought these to aid a wound healing after minor surgery on a GP's advice to keep the wound covered. My partner had used these dressings in the past for a wound on her knee and was supplied these dressings by an NHS Minor Injuries Unit. The dressings she was given lasted 7 days just fine without peeling or coming lose.I received the 5 pack of these yesterday (30/01/2025), and so far have gone through four in less than 24hours, each time the main point of failure being poor adhesion, mostly in the corners, two dressings of which almost immediately peeled off after applying them and moving my arm.I've been a qualified first aider for well over 15 years, so I'm reluctant to accept this as user error on my part, as I've applied my fair share of dressings over the years; I feel like I've maybe just got unlucky with a bad batch, or perhaps these just aren't the same dressings as what my partner used, but ultimately they've been less than useful, and should last for more than a few minutes to a few hours, especially given the price too.As a last resort I've had to use traditional band-aids until I can source some better quality dressings, which isn't ideal.When the dressing is applied and is actually holding, I will say it is very soft and comfortable, and doesn't irritate my skin anywhere near the same as a traditional non-silicone dressing, which was also another reason I opted for this type.For reference I've included a photo of the last remaining dressing I have, with the various batch reference details, expiry date etc, in case the seller wishes to investigate.
