McKesson 16-4816 Medi-Pak Adhesive Strip, Performance Fabric, 2" x 3", 50 Count (Pack of 2)

Perfect size and good price

Best band aids money can buy

These are great bandages! I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t as good as they are. They have excellent adhesion, even on wrinkled skin and once you put them on, they are on until you want to take them off. The first one I used, I didn’t take it off until I was in the shower and I had to work at it a bit. The thing wanted to stay stuck to my skin. Secondly, they are fairly easy to apply, not always an easy thing to do when it’s an awkward spot on your body. I’ve tried using the Band-Aid brand and I’d destroy three for every one that would properly affix. That can get expensive very quickly. With the McKessons, the very first one out of the box went on with ease. I was immediately impressed. Now I’ve applied three new bandages and only lost one and that was more my fault than the fault of the bandage.Bottom Line: I like them and when these are getting low, I’ll buy more. My only complaint is that they don’t come in a 3”x3” size bandage or a 3” round bandage. That would perfect for my primary need for bandages but I can make do with these. I’ve already put some 1”x3” bandages in my shopping cart. I’ll buy them the next time I place an Amazon order.P.S. I’ve seen some folks complain about bandages that break out their skin. I’m allergic to a lot of stuff and after three days I’m yet to break out under or near this dressing. If anything changes on that front, I’ll amend this review.

I recently underwent a tarsorrhaphy, a procedure in which the upper and lower eyelids are sutured together to protect my cornea from severe keratitis (corneal ulcers.) The tarsorrhaphy will be in place for several months, and needs to be covered by a sterile dressing, at least for a while. I find these McKesson patches better and more aesthetically pleasing than taping bulky traditional oval eye pads over my eye. They adhere very well, do not work loose, and the look of a tarsorrhaphy is quite unappealing, so even when a bandage is not required, I am going to keep the eye covered with these patches while the tarsorrhaphy is in place. I know that different people react differently to adhesives, but for me, at least, these bandages stick very well (almost too well) but are not irritating to my skin when I remove them.

At first application they are adequate, but over a short period of time the adhesion wore off. Under an hour they are good, but long-term not good. They need to double the adhesion strength and longevity.

I’ve been getting the Beige McKesson 2x3 fabric adhesive bandages for years and they were the only ones I could use without an allergic reaction, now they are selling these new Tan ones and tripled the price for the beige ones and the Tan are so horrible! I’m terrified they are replacing the beige ones with the tan, and now with the price getting jacked up so high I can’t afford the beige. I don’t know what I’m going to do!I have to wear these 24-7 for the rest of my life and I am extremely painfully allergic to the adhesive on every kind I’ve tried, finally when I found their beige ones I didn’t constantly have the adhesive eating horrible itchy holes in my skin all around my stoma. My bladder was killed by a hospital yrs ago and had to be removed completely, so now a I have a stoma and an internal pouch, I have to always keep my stoma covered and the 2x3 bandages are the only size that fit, they are so hard to find. I am so upset and scared I don’t know what to do! McKesson please don’t replace the beige ones with these horrible tan ones and please it’s not fair to sell the beige for more the twice the price. Please be kind and help out a long time loyal customer! If you are getting rid of the beige and won’t change your minds please sell me what you have left of the beige for a good price! I’m home bound and on disability, I can’t afford to pay more then double what they were just months ago! I have to use about 10 a day every day, I have no choice on that. Please respond if you can help me. Thank you so much! I probably should have written you this in a letter and will probably try to find where a I can do that but I also wanted to warn people these new tan ones are not the same, the quality is terrible! After only a few boxes I’ve gotten several bandages with weird stitches sewn through them, all the way across, they are unusable! They are horribly stiff and uncomfortable besides me being severely allergic to the adhesive used on them, and they either don’t stick at all or they stick on the edges and corners so much that they literally pull off my skin. I’m so upset and disappointed!

keep the price down

Used these to cover my ear after some surgery. I wanted something that blended with my skin and that would stay on during sweaty workouts. These work great, and even stay on when splashed during showering. They are very sticky but easy to remove if done slowly. I would buy again.
