Dimora Upgrade Super Absorbent Dressing with Activated Charcoal, Superior Anti-Odor Moisture Absorpting Wound Dressing 4"x8" 10 Packs

When it says super absorbent it means it! I've been using these for a fairly large pressure sore, and there was no seepage. It absorbed everything. They also stick well, and stay put longer than other brands I've tried. I strongly recommend these and will be getting more of this size and checking out what other sizes this brand may have. They're decent on price too which always is helpful.

More effective than I imagined. A wonderful product. Good adhesion and easy on the skin when removed. Somewhat expensive but worth the money.

Thought it would work on, but prefer with tape on edge. Good for large wounds with wrap.

I had been using another brand of this type of product, which had been provided to me through a home health agency. Now that I have to start paying for my own wound supplies, I decided to try this new brand since it was less than half the cost of the one I’d been given. I was quite happy to discover that this new brand of absorbent pad was every bit as effective as the one that cost so much more. It stays sealed and doesn’t leak despite holding quite a lot of fluid. I’m pleased to recommend it to others who need to manage weeping wounds.

I really like the stickiness of the bandage but the absorbency is ok, but if you have a heavy wound then you would have to change the bandage several times a day. It adheres to the skin well.

As expected and user friendly

The big problem is that these pads failed to really do their intended job.They don't adhere well, which isn't a huge problem but sometimes they would roll up or unroll with clothing. The flip side of this is that they are easy to remove. On a whole they could be a tad stickier.Where they really fall down doing their job is with absorbancy. They don't absorb particularly well and on top of that what does get absorbed ends up bleeding through the pad.I imagine for light draining wounds these might do, but with the exception of one day, my wound wasn't a heavy draining wound. As an example, rather than get absorbed in the pad, one day there was a crease from when I applied the pad and the fluid channeled into the crease. At no point in the wound did it get absorbed, it just funneled into the crease where it either was absorbed or dried up. I had compression on it, so the expectation would have been that the fluid would get absorbed more readily where it came out at.I did like the pads, I used them completely, but I would have preferred a wound pad that wicks up and locks in the fluid better.

I hadn't a diabetic ulcer for 10 years. These were not available back then. A new wound in 2021 resisted healing measures tried by my doctor. It was draining and my bandages were always wet. My doctor offered that some patients used maxi pads That just weighted down the surrounding skin, the wound stayed wet, the skin turning white, and no measurable healing. I found these here and tried them. I was back for more and showed the product envelope and package instruction pages to my doctor. She was very impressed with the rapid turn around in the healing, measurments and obvious healthy look of my wound. She works for a large hospital in their wound care department, she will be asking their supply department for a similar item. Only item she had to use were abdoninal wound pads.These have a gel based core which will absorb at a fast pace. The 'stay dry layer' locking the moisture away from the skins surface, keeping it dry.The pain is gone, the weight is gone, my clothes and bed stay dry, the wound after 18 months is almost gone. It is not weeping anymore and I have tears of joy for this product.
