Dimora Hydrogel Burn Dressing

I got a very bad boiling oil burn on my arm weeks ago. This dressing doesn’t stick to your skin at all, as in it doesn’t pull up any skin when you go to change it. We all know how delicate burnt scabs are, as well as the upper dermis when it blisters or otherwise comes away from the lower levels. I have had zero skin cells come off with this. It’s allowed my skin to makntain integrity as it heals, no pulling skin off before it is ready to easily, and even then I have to do it myself. This product is not scented, and it doesn’t have any ingredients such as essential oils which are very bad to put on your skin as it is, let alone damaged, compromised, and sensitive skin which develop an allergic response easily that may be permanent when it comes to using essential oils in any product intended to put on your skin. I did find this size difficult to place over my particular burn, however I will keep this smaller size and the larger one in my first aid bin, to ensure I’m prepared for any wound that needs to be kept covered so it heals. It is about 18” thick, and has completely eliminated the awful pain from even slightly warm water in the shower. I can shower at my normal temperature. The dressing needs changing after each shower as the gel absorbs water and oozes around the edges. I keep mine held on with Coban wraps. Using that, this dressing stays exactly where I put it. I am extremely pleased with how this has helped my burn heal. I had initially tried the “non stick” bandages with aloe with lidocaine applied, and those stuck. Ouch! This solved the problem entirely and provides a hydrating barrier that is exactly what a burn needs. The lidocaine did help with acute pain. I read that these need/shouldn’t use any product underneath; so I did let the aloe sit on exposed skin until it dried down, and then used a cotton round with micellar water to gently wipe any residue off before putting this dressing on. Due to how protected my skin is by this, I haven’t had any scarring, just fresh pink skin when some of my scab-adjacent skin has come off. I will need to protect the skin this summer with a 100% UV wrap, to make sure it doesn’t burn from sensitivity, especially as I live at a high elevation do the sun’s rays are more intense. A very well earned 5/5, for first through pretty serious second degree burns this is a fantastic product. I will always keep it on hand!

For a second and third degree burns, these work wonders. Much better than fabric bandages, as the gel provides some cooling relief while keeping the burn wound moist.

Treated my husbands burned foot after he dropped a pot of boiling water on it. The product encouraged healing and he didn’t have an infection set in. Lost the skin on the top of his foot, which the dressing debreded. I like these pants product.

They work to deeply cool the inflammation but issues expressed in other reviews are also true. I removed them in the shower without issue as they can stick to the wound without proper hydration. The edges did dry out but using a bra or bandage helped. As my inflammation decreased bandages didn't seem to dry as much. Best thing I've tried for post radiation breast inflammation.

Used on a fairly large steam burn on the underneath of my forearm. Within 12 hours, it had dried up everywhere except the worst part of the burn (the center of the burn had a 2x3 area that was much worse) it STUCK to the edges of the worst part of the burn. So painful to remove and set my healing back. I'd put 0 stars if it'd let me. I don't know why you'd ever put these on a burn or wound. Want to return.

I used these to treat a large ~3"x 4" wide x 1/8" deep abrasion on my upper/outer shin I received when I tripped while running downhill in the woods and rammed my shin into a root . It was quite deep, and quite painful. After disinfecting with hydrogen pyroxide and alcohol (a very painful process on a wound this large), I was using gauze and aquaphor jelly, but the gauze was sticking to the injury and the nerves were raw, so I knew I needed something else. Doctors have known for three thousand years that you treat large open injuries like this by keeping them moist and sterile, so this seemed ideal. It was an enormous improvement over the gauze, instantly cooling and secure. The greatest advantage was that it conformed exactly to the injury, so whereas the bandages tugged and pulled as I moved my leg (especially when wearing pants at work), this is nice and smooth and secure. I used some Leukotape P on the edges to keep it in sealed and in place, and that was enough. I really like how it is translucent, so you can visually monitor the injury, and thermally conductive, so you can monitor the level of warmth to watch for infection. This was sufficient for the early healing phases. However, there are a couple things I learned. Once, I needed to replace it once a day, as if I waited longer, the moisture in the hydrogel was exhausted and the pad would become bound to the injury, and removing it would pull away the scabbing/scarring, disrupting the healing process. This worsened as the injury healed. Second, the hydrogel dressing naturally swells as it absorbs exude from the injury, and that's fine. Third, you should wrap the hydrogel pad in an outer layer to pad the injury against minor contact irritation. I found Mueller M-tape - and old favorite of mine for injuries of any significant type - to be fantastic for this. I used all ten pads over a period of about two weeks, and the injury steadily healed, but I think it would have healed more quickly if I had replaced the pads every day instead of trying to remove them, thus allowing them to bind. After the wound had decreased by about 50% and I had exhausted the pads, I switched to non-adhering gauze pads and copious quantities of aquaphor, wrapped in Mueller M-tape and secured with a small amount of Leukotape P. Initially I wrapped the M-tape in a thin layer of cheap cotton athletic tape, but as I don't get involved in vigorous activity I didn't need to so to protect the M-tape from damage - for you it might be different. I replaced this every two days, and rarely had adherence problems again. If these pads were twice as thick, I think they'd be more effective for treading large, deep wounds. However, for much shallower wounds I think they'd be perfect. I plan on ordering another pack to keep on hand.

I like the fact that this has a self adhesive backing, although it washes off in water, i.e. shower or bath.

I recently picked up the Dimora Hydrogel Burn Dressing for some minor burns and scrapes, and I’m so glad I did. These 4” x 4” gel pads offer instant cooling relief, which was a game-changer when I accidentally burned myself in the kitchen. The gel provides a soothing, moist barrier that immediately calms the discomfort without causing any irritation. The 10-count package is great for keeping on hand at home or in your first aid kit. Each dressing is pre-moistened and easy to apply, sticking well to the skin without any mess. It really helps reduce the pain and swelling associated with first and second-degree burns, as well as minor cuts and abrasions. I've also used it for chafing, and it worked wonders. One thing I really appreciate is that these dressings don’t feel sticky or uncomfortable. They stay in place but don’t leave behind any sticky residue when you remove them, which makes cleaning up easy. They also offer a gentle, non-irritating way to promote healing and prevent infection. The only downside, if I had to mention one, is that I wish the dressings were a little bit larger for covering bigger areas. But for small to medium burns or cuts, they’re perfect. Overall, the Dimora Hydrogel Burn Dressing is a must-have in any first aid kit. It provides fast relief, promotes healing, and is so much more comfortable than other treatments I’ve tried. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with minor burns, cuts, or abrasions!
