When covering medication patch, what about the pad? I thought you could only wear the film.

I don't believe the pad will interfere with your medication patch. If you are concerned about it, I would suggest you buy the tegaderm film which does not have the pad. Why don't you check with your health care provider first? Hope this helps.

You put the pad over the medication patch to keep it from falling off in the shower or changing your clothes.

I use them for showering. In the time it takes you to shower it should not be an issue if you take it off after you dry off.

Yes, after the blood is cleaned up. Otherwise you would be changing the pad often.

Hi, The pad of the bandage is all adhesive, it is the same film bandage the hospitals use to hold an IV in place. I use it to hold on bandages or patches especially when I'm in the shower because it is waterproof. The pad is all adhesive.

Greetings...I would probably try to contact Medline directly, I would expect that they can send you another pad.good luck!

I'm not sure. I would assume that you could but why would you want to when the cloth or paper one's are much more comfortable. Plus the sweat may build up and get a little warm while you are exercising. PS. One person said that breathing was restricted but that would depend on what kind of filter you bought for it.I hope this helps.

Where is the rip? In an obvious location? You could use this patch but I think it would be obvious depending on the location of the rip. I used it to patch a hole in the knee of my son's school uniform sweatpants. I put it on the outside. It has endured lots of "playtime" and washings, so once it's on - I don't think you can peel it off. It's stuck on there pretty darn good.

I, personally, have never worn any of the pads out, so I haven't had any need to know how, or where, to replace them. I would expect the mfr. would know, but it may be just aseconomical to buy a new one! You must be very hard on the brace - using it for sports??

It's only a cover; you have to purchase your own padding. I hop my response helps you.Nadine

I don't think so, I cover it up with a handkerchief. I think other people use tape.

Christopher, I use the Tegaderm as a cover over a non-stick gauze pad. I have found them very easy to use and since I'm allergic to adhesives it makes it much easier for me.

There is no medicine involved. It is padded with a gel substance. They are hard to get on properly.

The actual transparent dressing that ends up on your skin is 2 1/2 by 2 1/4. So you have an inch to spare around your whole patch. The window is big enough for you to center your patch beneath the dressing. I use it over an infusion needle for my insulin pump and it keeps it from slipping out or moving and I'm pleased with the way it works. I hope this was helpful for you.

I use to cover a Fentynl patch. I sometimes get itching and once in awhile I do get some small blisters. Hope this helps.

When I ordered back in the winter I got two four days uncertain tubes. Helps for a short time unless I should find exactly how to use. Like should I cover the area with a cloth or something else. The lidocaine patches helped me for hours but they stick to you. My RX plan will not. Pay for them so I found this as a fairly good substitute. If the company reads this and has a suggestion on how to keep it on the area longer, I would appreciate hearing from them. Hope this is encouraging because it does give relief for a while. A good product. C

Wear a sock underneath it. I wear this for sand Volleyball. Sounds a little dorky to wear it over a sock but it works. I love this bandage.. I'd buy another one. I'd also buy it one size smaller than your actual size, only because after hand washing it in Hot Water several times, it stretches out just slightly. I hope this helps.

Yeeees don't worry you can use the foam pad, but only Foam pad black, why this material is less THICK.

Last answer should say the picture shows a long tube with two pads on it.......
