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

I had a nasty burn from the oven on the back of my left hand and needed a waterproof, properly sealed dressing to protect it while it healed. These dressings are ideal. They are easy to put on and stay put during the day. You peel off the back, put it in place and press down then peel off the plastic at the front to reveal a thin clear sticky edge which you can then press down more firmly in place. They are waterproof to a point (washing your hands/showering) but not sure how long they would stay in place if they were underwater for a long period of time.I change mine everyday but I imagine they would stay put for a few days if necessary. Recommended.

Really good item for dressing post op/infection wounds at home, and 100% waterproof too.

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 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.

Plasters are decent size, pad is 6 x 4 cm, o/d 10 x 8 cm. Adhesion to skin excellent and are waterproof when worn in the shower. Happy to recommend.

I had stitches 1 week before heading off on holiday to France. This was not planned. My wounds were approximately 1 inch across on both sides of my body and with the 40 degrees plus, water was required. These plasters were fantastic. They are small yet mighty. They withstood normal swimming in a pool and gentle swimming in the sea. They also survived an aqua park, although I did double up. On return to the UK, NOW 2 weeks post surgery, they also protected me with early morning swims. My surgery was relatively slight with skin removal and subsequent stitches. The £2.70 per plaster from local pharmacy which was also waterproof turned out to be anything but. A small yet mighty waterproof plaster.

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.

As plasters go these kind of do the job. Firstly they are easy to place but the plastic backing is not easy to remove once it's stuck. Secondly they are waterproof in as much as a small splash and I mean very small won't be absorbed anything else and it will peel off. If you dipped your hand in a bowl of warm water for a second it will peak off. Thirdly the edges will roll up very easily at the slightest of contact so I would suggest a secondary covering or you will be replacing the plaster several times a day.
