About Medline Bordered Gauze, 4" x 4" Adhesive Island Wound Dressing
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
78% praised for its excellent absorbency, but 22% found it lacked absorbency
This product stays in place until removed and the gauze area over the wound never gets stuck, unlike other products that come off throughout the day.
The absorbency of the gauze is good, but as I am not a doctor, I am unsure if it compromises on the quality of the rest. I suggest using a little extra sponge gauze underneath.
The product claimed to be water resistant, but it failed when water touched the corner of the wound dressing, leaving the wound exposed to the elements.
84% praised the breathable layering, but 16% found it too thick
The water resistant factor is not genuine. As soon as water touches the corner of the wound dressing, the adhesive stops working and will not adhere again, exposing the wound to the elements.
84% appreciated the easy-to-use design, but 16% found it difficult to apply
The adhesive lasted for less than the claimed duration of 7 days.
85% appreciated the generous size
This bandage is fairly close to a military grade bandage for consumers.
