Dimora Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing

What I bought this for: I ordered the Dimora 4"x4" Hydrocolloid dressings to cover and heal scraped knees after falling off an electric scooter. I wanted something large, low-profile, and gentle enough for daily wear under clothing. First impressions: The patches are very thin — way more discreet than standard hydrocolloid dressings. They come individually packed and feel soft, flexible, and breathable. Great first impression for such a budget-friendly 20-pack. Performance & Use: These bandages worked perfectly for my needs. They stick well, don’t irritate the skin, and are practically invisible once on. Even with jeans rubbing over them all day, they stayed secure. The ultra-thin design is ideal for keeping things low-key while still supporting healing. Pros: • Thin, flexible, and almost invisible • Covers large areas but feels breathable • Great value for a 20-pack • Works well under clothing Cons: • May need to be changed more often if wound is draining heavily • Adhesive isn’t as strong as thicker patches (but still holds up well) Would I recommend it? Yes, especially if you're looking for something subtle and lightweight. These are great for light wounds, healing skin, or areas where thicker bandages are uncomfortable. A must-have in your first aid kit. Tips for Buyers: Press down around the edges firmly for best adhesion Ideal for daytime use — switch to thicker ones at night if needed

These might be the best Hydrocolloid bandage on the market right now (at least the ones readily available in the US). Sticks and lasts better than the Bandaid branded ones. These also cut really easily to make any sided bandage. I will definitely get these again!

I had a pressure ulcer on my ankle presumably from ill-fitting shoes that just wasn’t getting better with over two months of traditional wound care. I did some research and turned out I had some slough in the wound (mine was like a yellowish drainage that was too thin to be pus), and one of the solutions I kept coming across for treatment of slough was hydrocolloid bandages. Apparently slough interferes with your body’s ability to heal a wound and it won’t get better without the slough being debrided, and hydrocolloid bandages promote your body being able to do something called “autolytic debridement” which I guess is where your body uses enzymes to break down the slough. Good stuff! Well anyway nothing else was working so I gave these a try, figuring what did I have to lose? Yes they’re a bit expensive but I was able to cut them in half which helped. I’m happy to report that after just a month and a half of using these, on what was a Stage 3 pressure ulcer, the wound has FINALLY completely closed and the ulcer is nearly all the way healed!! I have no doubt these are to thank for that considering I was trying so many other things (regular bandages, gauze, ointments, antibacterial ointments), none of which worked for over two months during which time the wound actually got progressively worse. Some tips I’d like to share (since I used these for so long, I’ve definitely come to know a few): 1) Use the .3 mm if your wound is on a joint area, use the .5 if it isn’t. Mine was by my ankle and at first I was trying to use the thicker ones and kept getting frustrated at how hard it was to get them to stay stuck on. Once I switched to the thinner ones, they still came off every now and then (mostly if I tried to apply them when my skin wasn’t completely dry yet), but for the most part they stayed on much better. 2) Just because you can keep these on for several days without changing them, doesn’t mean you’ll be able to. Personally the wound I was dealing with had a LOT of drainage, especially at first, and something I came to notice is if I left the bandage on too long without changing it with a lot of drainage, it would start itching and feel very uncomfortable. Changing them more frequently helped tremendously. I actually had to change mine more or less every day. Expensive, yes, but more comfortable. 3) Wear these while bathing or showering, especially at first. I would always just clean my wound and change the bandage after bathing for the day. The reason being is I found the soaps/bath liquids and other things irritated the wound. Wearing the bandage in helped protect it from that discomfort. Eventually when it started to get a little better I would take the bandage off for showers only and just made sure to keep any soap suds away from the area. 4) Honestly there were stages of the wound healing that were just painful sometimes. These bandages reduced the pain some, but there were phases in healing where I had some discomfort no matter what. Dabbing a little lidocaine liquid or triple antibiotic ointment with numbing before putting on the dressing helped with this quite a bit. So did making sure to wipe off any extra gel adhesive that built up around the wound (idk if it’s true for everyone but when it built up that gel was a little irritating to my skin). Anyway, I think that’s about it! Long read but I hope it helps someone else: I can’t even begin to share how ecstatic I am that for the first time in months the skin by my ankle is finally completely intact, ALL thanks to these bandages. So I just had to come on here and tell everyone else how great these are!

These work so well, wish I had discovered them years ago. Great on road rash and really any cut you get. Pain free, easy to put on, cut to size and they stay in place no matter where you put them, including palms.

In between wound, doctor visits these dressing held up well. They stay on as well ,didn't irritate the skin and even seemed to help settle down the infected area

I have very sensitive skin and react to Tegaderm and just every bandaid and sensitive skin solution bandaid out there. As an RN, I have used Hydrocolloid dressings on patients, but I never realized they would actually be affordable over the counter. These are wonderful!! No tearing my skin off with the bandage. No rash. I forget I have them on. I cut the dressing to the size I need and use it. It absorbs liquids well, so don’t overdo any antibiotic ointment, if you are using it. My skin tears now (thank you menopause), and these cover the skin tear, so it actually heals. If the wound is still producing fluid, you’ll change it more frequently- daily or every other day. Once that slows or stops, you can leave it until you need to change it. In the picture the dressing (cut out of the sheet) is on the 3rd day of use. Edges coming up, but not sticking to other things. Still doesn’t feel like it’s on my hand. As a bonus, if you have teens around, these are the same material the popular “pimple patches” are made of. Cut a small circle out of a sheet of this to do the same.

My dad had a surgical incision that was taking a long time to fully heal, at the top of his leg, near the crease- still had an open area after 5 weeks. The surgeon evaluated and there was no concern for infection, just a difficult spot to heal. I got these, and there was a big difference in healing and the area that had still been open, was closed within 7 days! The dressing stayed on really well, in a spot where there is constant bending and rubbing from clothing. (Likely why it was taking so long to heal in the first place).

These dressings are a game changer. Just recently crashed on my motorcycle again. The first crash I just used the traditional gauze and wrap for recovery and it took about 4 weeks to fully recover (almost all the scabs were gone). This time around a friend told me about these. I expected recovery time to be the same but recovery was much faster at about 2.5 weeks. They don’t stick very well to injuries at the joints. The dressings leak out the side on the very first day when I used these on my knees and elbows so I did not use these as often on joints. They do work very well on the road rash I got on my shin and forearms though. The road rash on the knees and elbows are still healing while the forearms and shin are fully healed. Do yourself a favor and replace all your large bandages with these in your first aid kit. I ordered both the .3mm and .5mm dressings. They had the same effectiveness but the .3mm was slightly more comfortable to wear since you noticed it less.

Muy delgados no funcionan bien

These have worked well for me as a general replacement for bandaids. They are tough, conformal, and sticky, so they work well even in ordinarily really tough areas to use normal bandaids. I'm talking the creases of the fingers, elbows, etc. You do need to give them time, as it can feel like wounds are healing slowly underneath (because they don't really scab with these) but when they finish healing they are usually well-restored with healthy skin and minimal marking.
