LMNOOP® Sterile Gauze Pad & Waterproof Adhesive Bandage, Individually Packed, Wrap Sponges for Cleaning and Cushioning Wounds First Aid Products, Transparent Stretch Dressing Tape for Tattoos (3in)

Contents that should remain sterilized arrived damaged in flimsy packaging and Amazon refused to refund?!!!Furthermore, it's a good concept but not good when executed. The skin sweats under the sealed bandage because the area doesn't get to breathe. The seal doesn't last long.

The media could not be loaded.  I like that all forty of these 4x4-inch Gauze Pads are individually packaged, as this keeps the pads clean until I need to open one (or more) for use. This is important for the times when we have an open sore, as we'll need clean products to help the sore heal.The gauze feels somewhat soft to the touch, and did not irritate my skin when I put it on my leg and then applied the adhesive bandage.The 16 rolls of Waterproof Adhesive Bandages are also individually packaged.I measured a roll to be 2-3/4 inches in width. According to the product description page, the length of each roll is 40 inches (or 3-feet, 4-inches).When I cut out the length that I need, these bandages are already partially peeled, so that I can easily peel the backing, tape that side to my skin, then easily peel the rest of the tape (on the other side) to complete applying the bandage.The bandages stick to my skin well and feel gentle; yet, I can remove the bandage from my skin without tearing away the skin.On front of the gauze pad packages, there is a misspelling. It says "Pell Down"; but, this should be "Peel Down".The packages also say that these 8-ply gauze pads are "....highly absorbent....". I have used gauze pads that are 4-ply, and ones that are 12-ply. For a wound that drains a lot, I prefer the 12-ply to absorb the drainage.Overall, these are excellent to have on hand for the times we get injuries that result in skin tearing. This way, we can treat the problem immediately, and then decide if we should seek further help from a doctor.

This is cheap gauze and will be fine for more closed wounds or to protect a tattoo perhaps, but I wouldn't use it on serious wounds. It's not as high quality as what we get at the corner drug store and the sterile claims feel iffy. It looks and feel like dollar store versions of gauze. The packaging with typos and odd wording lessens confidence in the product, too, which I am more wary of when using for any medical purposes.

Nice large pieces of transparent waterproof dressing strips. Essentially identical to Tegaderm that I use in my hospital (for securing IVs etc). Product works pretty well and has good adhesion and staying power and water resistance, however, it is difficult to apply since it is rolled up and you have to use scissors to cut it to length. Typical cotton gauze. Typos on the wrapper don’t inspire confidence (“Pell down” instead of “peel” or “pull”). Made in China. Overall, for $30, it’s rather expensive and there are other better options out there. Three stars.

Gauze usually comes in 4-, 6-, 8-, 12- and 16-ply. This is 8-ply gauze, which is more than adequate for home use for stopping bleeding, absorbing wound drainage, etc. This set comes with 40 sterile packages of 4X4 8-ply gauze, with two pieces of gauze per package. It also includes 16 rolls of waterproof adhesive bandage to cover the gauze, hold it in place, and keep it dry while showering or going out in the rain. Each roll is 2.80 inches wide and 40 inches long. The gauze is super soft and feels gentle against my skin. Soft gauze is particularly appreciated when the skin is already tender and sensitive around the injured area. The waterproof dressing has a plastic backing with grid lines, making it easy to cut the size I want. I really like having a long 40 inch roll like this, especially for extended lacerations or long surgical incisions. The key to applying the dressing is to peel off just enough of the paper to reveal a sticky strip that you can place on the skin at the top of where you want the dressing to be. Leave the plastic layer on the other side in place until the last minute--this keeps the dressing from bunching up or folding in on itself. Once a small edge of the adhesive side of the dressing is stuck to the skin, then continue from that edge and slowly peel the rest of the paper off a little at a time while continually pressing the sticky part down as you go, until all of the dressing is stuck to your skin and all of the paper is off. It helps to keep just a tiny bit of tension on the paper as you pull it down, since this helps to keep the dressing straight and taut as you press it down. If you get impatient and take the paper off too fast without pressing the sticky part down as you go, then you'll end up with a bunch of dressing stuck to itself and will probably have to start all over with a new one. This is pretty typical with any transparent waterproof dressing, not just this one. Once the dressing is firmly stuck against your skin, then take the plastic backing off. This leaves a nicely adhered transparent waterproof dressing in place. Applying a dressing gets easier after doing the first one or two. This gauze and waterproof dressing kit is handy to have on standby with my medical supplies, and I'm glad I ordered it.

I've had a couple surgeries this year and found myself wishing I had a bit better of gauze and tape. So, as I was sitting going through our first aid kits post surgery; I did something about it. I made my first aid kit and trauma kit to my liking and my needs.The gauze is okay. It's not the best, but not the worst either. Since you go through it quickly post surgery, these do as needed. The tape is better quality than most first aid tape. It rips easily by hand and even easier with scissors. I still have a slight reaction to this (as I do with all adhesive bandages/tapes), but it's not as bad as most. It's easy to remove without pulling the skin though. This is a DIY tegaderm of sorts. Create a waterproof seal that allows the gauze to move with your skin and not stay put. If you're looking for a cheap but cost effective waterproof bandage, this would be my go to option.
