TEGADERM Plus +PAD 3M Film Dressing 9cm x 15cm x10 Transparent/Waterproof/Non-Adherent Pad

Excellent dressing. Completely showerproof.Flexible yet strong adhesive.

Brilliant water resistant dressings, easy to apply and remove. Keeps the wound dry and clean all day and during showers.

I recently had a third Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (spinal surgery) where they went in through the side of my throat.These wound dressings are absolutely brilliant at protecting the incision, despite my beard growing for over a week, and they stretch along with the skin as you move with zero leakage. Even with my beard (I couldn’t shave close to the incision) no water got in at all, and the entire area remained dry.These are fully breathable as well - I had my surgery in the height of summer and was terrified of sweat building up under the dressing, however when changing it despite other parts of my neck being a bit damp the area under the dressing was perfectly dry.

I discovered these whilst trying to find a way to treat gravel rash after a cycling mishap. They are a total game changer.

It does what it says a waterproof wound dressing

Covers well and doesn't peel off

I've found that an extended amount of time in the swimming pool or sea means that the insulin sensor and pod can lose it's adhesion - the tegaderm seems to the job in avoiding this. tegaderm plus means you have the pad, which is easier to remove as it doesn't pull on the pod/sensor itself. Easier to use then the normal tegaderm

These plasters are not waterproof
