Polymem 4" x 4" Non-Adhesive Pad Wound Dressing, 3 Count (Pack of 1)

I purchased these pads based on the reviews, and they truly exceeded my expectations. My dad is diabetic and has extremely fragile, "onion-thin" skin. He accidentally scraped his arm on a doorway and ended up tearing off the top layer of skin—it was pretty intense. While the wound wasn’t deep enough to require a hospital visit, it was raw and painful. Initially, we used Solosite Wound Gel (left over from a previous hospital stay), along with gauze pads and bandage wrap. Unfortunately, every time we changed the dressing, it would stick to the healing skin and pull it off again, forcing his body to start the healing process all over. I was on the verge of calling his doctor for advice when I came across a review on Amazon that mentioned using these PolyMem pads along with a clear “second-skin” dressing. That combination was a game-changer. Not only did the pads provide cushioning and protection, but they also didn’t stick to the wound. We found that we didn’t need to change the dressing daily—every three days was sufficient. The only reason we changed it that often was because the edges of the second-skin dressing would start to lift and catch on his clothes. Each time we changed the dressing, we were amazed at how much healing had occurred. His wound is now completely healed, with no scarring at all. These pads are absolutely a must-have for any home first aid kit. Yes, they’re a bit pricey, but they’re worth every penny—and since they can be cut to size, we were able to get two uses out of each one. I wish I had taken before-and-after photos to show the difference, but honestly, the “before” might have been too graphic to share. Still, I can’t recommend these enough.

We got Polymem from our wound care nurse, but they could only give us a few to take home, so Amazon to the rescue! These are a little smaller than what I got at wound care, but it’ll still work at the 4x4 size. My dad had leg wounds that started to bleed when we removed the “nonstick” band aid pads, negating any sort of healing since we needed to change the dressing every day, so wound care said to use these instead as they really are nonstick. After using these for two days, the bleeding stopped and the wounds are finally healing. Apparently you do not need to use any antibiotic ointment or medicines since it has it all incorporated into the pad itself. They are easy to cut for whatever size you need. I’ve cut one into smaller pieces to take care of little spots all over. They are expensive, but in my opinion the price is worth the quick improvement to my dads issues we’ve had for two months.

Great medical tool for healing wounds.

As expected, arrived when stated..new and good quality

Works well.

Great, soothing wound treatment.

I am diabetic and have paper thin skin. I started using these pads at a hospital for an abscess. The speed of healing is impressive. No more ripping off the top layer of the wound and starting over everytime I change the dressing.

Excellent infection control Product. I used it for a severe burn and it was pivotal in preventing infection

Le ho acquistate per mio padre, è difficile trovarle e queste hanno un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, senza spendere centinaia di euro.

This is well worth the money, any kind of injury from burns to spots Eldery relative had a leg ulcer & it was taking months to heal polymem healed very quickly

This is excellent for wound healing. Best I've ever used. It is a bit too expensive tbf, but I can't dispute it's effectiveness. 5*

I had been trying to get this through my chemist but had been unsuccessful. Delighted to be able too get hold of it and it was just the job. Came as described in a timely manner.

Good product
