10cmX10m Waterproof Transparent Adhesive Wound Dressing Fixer Plaster Stretch Fixation Tape

I found it a little different to my usual brand. The backing separates in a slightly different place initially then it peels off just fine.Having made the leap to this I found that after only a couple of uses was seeing benefits over my previous brand; it feels like a closer fit thereby preventing water ingress and it it doesn’t come off with day to day abrasion. It’s less visible also probably due to it having less/lighter thickness.Due to the excellent pricing of this product I will stick with it.

Great bandage tape. I use Fentanyl patches which won't stick on me for 3 days on their own, and so I bought this to put over it to keep it stuck on, and wanted it waterproof for when having a shower, to protect it from falling off, and running the risk of getting attached to someone else or my cat etc as it could be deadly should it stick to someone else. It took a little bit of playing around to get the hang of the best way to stick it on, as if you don't do it in a certain way you run the risk of some of it folding over on itself. But once I got the knack of it it's worked really well. You need to make sure your skin is really dry before sticking it on, otherwise it won't stick properly and will then easily peel off. If the skins dry then it sticks really well. I measured the size that I needed by deciding how much sticky tape I wanted surrounding my fentanyl patch. I'd say leave about 1cm either side of it and about 1.5 above and below roughly. When you cut a strip off, be aware that on the white backing, there a cut along the backing 1square down, which is how you are able to peel the backing off. So if you need to cut the strip shorter, make sure you don't cut the end with the cut across the top edge, otherwise you won't be able to peel the backing off. The squares on the front help you to cut it to size. If you are using it to cover a patch, i found the best way to stick it on, is put your patch on your arm first, then the sticky plaster. (I tried sticking the patch to the plaster first but that didn't go well) To make sure you put the sticky plaster centrally over the patch, so it has an equal amount of sticky surrounding it, you can line it up on the squared sheet first and see how many squares you need either side and above, so that when you go to stick it on you can line it up evenly. Another option I did was to hold the sticky patch against my arm, with the backing still on, and draw a small line round each corner, and then you can stick your patch on in the middle of the lines, and then when you place the sticky patch on you just have to line it up with your lines you made on each corner. Just draw them a little above to give you a little space to wipe the lines off after attaching the patch. But it helps to give you an idea of how to line it up etc. Now in terms of removing the backing, you remove the large piece of the white backing first, leaving the small 1cm strip of white backing at the top. Stick it on your arm. Then remove the the 1cm backing at the top. Make sure it's stuck to your arm. If you don't take this bit off now, and do it at the end, the sticky film will end up sticking to itself. So once you've taken the large white piece off first, stuck it on your arm, and then removed the top cm strip, you can then go ahead and remove the clear squared bits. I find taking the bottom half off first is best, and make sure you press your hand on it to make sure it's all firmly stuck on the corners. Then finally take the top piece off. IV numbered them in order on the back of the sticky patch on a photo attached and shown you how it peels off in the different areas to help try and explain. Make sure if you're putting it on your upper arm, you bend your arm to make your skin strech when you stick it on, otherwise if you don't, when you bend your arm you'll find it's too tight and runs a risk of coming unstuck more . Once stuck on, just press firmly on with your palm for a minute or two to make sure it's fully stuck on.I have found when I have a shower sometimes the edges start to peel a little, but that's where having a good amount surrounding your patch ensures most of it always stays stuck on. I don't know what it's like when swimming though as I haven't tested that yet, but I would probably keep a pair of scissors and some spare in your bag to restick it if needed. IV also started to cut the corners into a curved corner to see if that helps the edges stay stuck down better and I think it has seemed to help. Any questions feel free to ask.I'd definitely recommend the product as has really helped keep my patch stay stuck in place and secure and I also suffer with sensitive skin and react to latex and some plasters, whereas this I'm ok with. IV occasionally had a little red sensitive area when IV taken it off, but a little moisturiser and it's fine. Whereas other plasters I'd come up in blisters. You just have to be careful taking it off. But would definitely recommend and the size of the roll is huge. IV still got loads left and have been using it for several months now. Any questions just ask.

Good product works just as well as more expensive brand, just wish I could get it in a wider width.

I was using EMLA cream to number the skin before doing our daily injections for IVF but it needs to be on for 2 hours to really work so I bought this which perfectly covered it and let it sink in beneath my clothing so we could do injections even out of the house. Absolutely brilliant and easy to cut to any size you want. The roll is huge, we barely made a dent on it even though we used it every day for a month.

But the part that does is waterproof

Excellent

We bought this to cover a toddler’s infusion set for her insulin pump. The plaster keeps it dry and stops her being able to pull it off. It remains sticky so we use an adhesive spray remover to help get it off. Very happy with the quality and it doesn’t irritate her sensitive skin

Finally, I have piece of mind that my Freestyle Libre Sensor is going to stay in place for the full 14 days without ANY worries. I previously used 3M Tegaderm film but, having had five out of twelve sensors knocked off and, each time, using three separate films for each sensor, I've finally found film I can rely on. It's more than wide enough and can be cut to the desired length and you really can rely on it not coming unstuck - even in water. The manufacturers should advertise this as the perfect film for sensors, fabulous product and fast delivery. No hesitation in recommending both product and supplier. Great service.
