Excellent for post-surgical care.

Because I have lower leg edema, any injury (especially a skin tear) takes a long time to heal. Of course, it doesn't help I'm 63 and my skin is more fragile than it used to be. Yet, I remain quite active, sooooo.... scrapes and scratches and tears happen. Injuries mend faster if I wear compression stockings or sleeves regularly, but I need to keep a pad over the injury so it does not stick to the stocking. In the past I've tried all sizes and kinds and brands of bandaids, trimmed the adhesive to minimal, rotated positions daily, etc, but my skin would get irritated by the bandaid, latex-free or not. (altho I don't have a latex allergy) Disappointingly worse, bandaids would frequently stick to the injury and pull away some of the hard work my body did that day to heal and seal the injury. Sometimes the injury was worse at the end of the day than at the beginning. Not good.I've used these Telfa dressings on one lower shin injury so far, and I had none of the complications I'd experienced with regular bandaids. To start with, the paper pouch around the dressing is a cinch to open. Then, it's very easy to expose the adhesive on one side, position the dressing accurately, and then expose and stick the adhesive on the other edge of the dressing. Gotta tell you... it's like using a professional product. Well thought-out design! So easy to use!The "ouchless" surface next to the injury never pulled away new tissue, and neither the dressing nor the adhesive irritated my skin as ordinary bandaids had. It was such a fabulous difference.The adhesive did a superb job of keeping the large 3x4 dressing in place, even when I was wearing shorts and it was fully exposed (no compression stocking over it) to my day's activities. The tan color of these was a fairly good match for my skin tone, so, even though large, they did not stick out visually too badly. The injury healed nicely.As you can tell, I'm impressed with them. I now keep a couple handy in each camera pack and my daypacks, my typical activity accessories.

Works very well on not sticking to skin

Fine product but hard to apply & get taped without help.
