Burxoe Inadine 5cm x 5cm Non-Adherent Wound Dressings, Povidone Iodine, AntiMicrobial

This item is not adhesive. The product literature makes this clear.You get 5 5x5cm meshes infused with iodine.The product is messy so becareful when you are applying this mesh because you don’t want to spoil your clothes.The product works by applying to the affected area. As a male it was under the left breast where I had a massive infection that had werupted. You need to cover this with either another plaster or as I did with gauze and the held in place with plasters.When you come to changing the mesh you will know it has worked as the mesh turns white in colour..ProsGood infection control in areas that an ordinary plaster might work and where you need something known to fight infections.Lasts most of the day.ConsJust the price per plaster is about £1 plus some pennies so a little expensive.In my case I had used creams and ointments with an antibiotic in them but they didn’t seem to work on me. I used the first one on Sunday as another eruption in the area broke out so I made sure to place the mesh in the newly infected area. Before I went to bed I changed the mesh and by Monday I was able to use the antibiotic creams better to clear my infection.This is a personal experience and not a guide on how to use these plasters nor is it medical advice. I was advised by the dermatologist that iodine drys out the wound and should give it a go. I looked iodine and you can see bottles of the stuff but I came across these meshes which were a lot easier to use.

Good treatment for issues with ingrown toenails.

Does what it says

Whilst they still arrived on time and the exact item I wanted I wasn’t expecting them loose like they’d come out of a much bigger box rather than the box of 5 I ordered. But it was the correct product

Is perfect

I would be completely lost without these iodine dressingsI have to change a chronic wound dressing twice daily but my GP surgery only supply one or two squares of this so I have to cut it up in order to make it last.With this slightly larger size I can get 4 smaller dressings from it and buying it myself saves the hassle and occasional humiliation of explaining why I need it to receptionist.

Works well to heal wounds. Repurchased

The picture says 25 units the bit at the bottom says 5. I know it's my fault for not checking to the end but I thought I was getting a box of 25 not a clear bag with 5 in. Just make sure you check in the details box how many you are getting.
