Leukomed T Plus - Sterile Wound Dressing - Waterproof and Breathable, First-aid Plasters - Ideal for Postoperative Care - Transparent - 8 cm x 10 cm - Box of 5

Needed waterproof dressings to protect a wound on a shoulder, which needed to be kept dry and covered for 14 days. I hadn't realised that each dressing had protective covers on both sides so my first attempt though secure was not as smooth as subsequent applications. Exceptionally waterproof, withstanding bathing and showering each day for 7 days and remaining in place. Brilliant value for money as they were so long lasting and I would recommend as a first aid kit essential.

These are not cheap, but for an easy to apply large dressing they are very good. They come with a two stage applicator: firstly you peel off the backing like a normal plaster. Apply to a clean (preferably sterilised) would and press down. Then remove a further backing back pulling a red tag - this leave the dressing held securely in place by a very fine adhesive backing which flexes with the skin, is indicated as waterproof, but at the same time allows the would to breathe. It says that you can leave the dressing in place for 72 hours - personally I thought that was a bit long, but I did leave it over a sensitive wound for 48 hours and it did the trick of allowing it to heal.

The plaster covered the wound well and stayed on my leg even when I went swimming. It did appear to let the water in when swimming for a long period of time however for me it didn’t stop the wound from healing.

These dressings are the only ones that have stood up to what they say, yes they are WATERPROOF.Highly recommended

Used these on holiday to cover recent wounds from an operation. They remained perfectly sealed through hours of swimming and were painless to remove once done. The adhesive can leave a little sticky mark behind, but a bit of baby oil lifted it right off

After recently having surgery, I needed dressings that would last long and were waterproof. These were the only dressings that worked for me. Very comfy on the skin and sturdy.

Excellent quality, easy to apply and totally waterproof, once stuck on you cannot tell their in place.

Excellent value for money when I needed this for an awkwardly place wound on the knee. It is waterproof and helped to heal the wound. Highly recommend.
