re: McKesson spot bandage, 1", please advise actual size of inside pad

My apologies, I thought the inside pad is what was in question. The Diameter of the "Dot" is approximately 1" in diameter.

It is about 3/8" x 3/8". Very small. Don't waste your money you can buy the same size at Walmart a lot cheaper.

On the ones I have, the plastic part is 1-1/8" diameter and the felt pad is 1". I have a few extras and I just measured one.

The large patch shown with the question is 5.12 x 3.31 inches. I also buy a box of 140 small ones which are 2.56 x 1.65 inches. They are great for knees, ankles, elbows, wrists and any other small jointed parts. That way they stay put while a larger one tends to either twist or keep you from bending that particula part easily. The big ones work well on bigger flat surfaces like back, neck, arms, legs etc.

Hi, just measured mine: OD 14x15.25 approx. ID 8.25 x 10.25 inches approx. The inside measurements are little larger at the top, then narrow 2/3s the way down. It has worked well for me as I recover from total knee replacement. Bill

Thank you for your answer. We are looking for a large pad and just wanted to be sure before ordering, but was concerned when I saw 2 different measurements. Thanks again.

Sorry. I needed the tubular bandage for my wrist and had to try several sizes before settling for the C. Obviously, your knee will need something bigger than my wrist size. Hope this helps.

hello---it is a 4 inch wide gauze roll 4. yards long...it is used to go around arm,leg,foot,hand,finger etc. to hold a gauze pad in place instead of using tape. tape comes off,hurts to remove pulls hairs. gauze is far superior to use. there is no ply business it is not a gauze pad. it is a roll of gauze. do you understand what item is now ? i can't look bacvk at ad now or my post will erase. i think you get 12 rolls. and they are sterile i believe. price is cheap. give a try . you can use in place of a gauze pad as well. just wash wound soap and water. put hydrogen 3% peroxide,alcohol,betadine,antibiotic ointment,zinc oxide,johnsons and johnson first air cream or whatever you like on you wound. then wrap it with the gauze roll. then tape it with micropore tape to keep from unraveling.

Thank you all for replying. I'm going to pass on buying this sock aid as it is no larger than the one I presently use which measures 3 5/8" inside diameter. I can manage OK but an additional 1/4" to 1/2" wider would have been nice. I have two replaced hips and have to use a sock aid. I have a tall chair that I use to dress and a small rubber backed rug (20" x 34") on the floor. I dig the toe of the sock aid into the rug so I can get my toe to the bottom of the sock. Cheers everyone! thord35

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 don't know of any sizing guides and whatever feels comfortable to you is the right size. If you use long disposable pads then I would suggest pads that are 9 inches or longer. If you like regular length then around 7 inches should be good. I think that using cloth pads is a trial and error process and you have to experiment to see what works the best for you. I wouldn't suggest buying a lot of products from the same company until you know for sure that they are the right ones for you! :)

The entire bandage is a non-glue adhesive. So the part that covers the wound is the entire tegaderm patch which is 4x4 3/4. If you are familiar with tegaderm you understand that there are no edges to this. If not, sometimes or drugstores and pharmacies will alllow you to buy one tegaderm patch. You might want to see what they are like first to make sure it suits your needs. But I love them and use then to cover my pain patches which then allows me to shower with my pain patches while keeping them dry. Hope this helps☺

15,5" as others have said seems right to me. Note:We have Olympic bars at our gym, and this pad barely closes velcro-on-velcro. It works, but I wish it were 1/2" wider. Some pads are not even as wide as this one. Decent product, overall.

It is more like a ribbon...you can order it in different widths and lengths as specified by your MD or as in my case wound clinic...it is an excellent product and I hope it works for you...

Based on the fact that it is in a petroleum form on sterile gauze in a sealed pouch, I wouldn't think so. This product is included in a lot of first aid kits, and essential to most medical tech kits. While I wouldn't buy more than I would ever anticipate being able to use, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase extra if there was a fantastic sale. However, based on the size of your wound/need, I would likely buy smaller sized pads for ordinary use. Once the pouch is opened, it is exposed to air/germs and shouldn't be used from one dressing to the next if exposed to the elements.

The small square 22 x 22 or 23 x23 fit this pad holder. I use underpads sold for people, Durasorb I think is the brand. I purchase them from a medical supply company.

I just checked the inside diameter of my hand guards, it's right about 1.81 inches

I was wondering the same thing, but then I just started using the pad sans cover. It's so much easier to clean up anyway. Otherwise, I think a regular sized one will fit relatively ok.
