Product Reviews of Band-Aid Activ-Flex Premium Adhesive Bandages, Large, 6-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)
Product Review: Awesome and durable
Summary: 5 Stars
I work an active job where I'm on my feet 8-12 hours a day, 5-7 days a week. New boots gave me a blister on one foot, and I ended up giving these band-aids a try. They are outstanding. I put one on and didn't have to take it off for the next week... through the work days, the showers, changing of shoes, it held up and stayed adhered. When I finally did take it off, the blister underneath was nearly healed. Pair this product with some Band-Aid Friction Block and you never have to worry about blisters again. I highly recommend it.Product Review: Band Aid Active Flex
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently sliced 2 fingers washing a brand new scalpel sharp kitchen knife. I found the active flex bandaids wandering through the bandaid isle and they worked great. They not only sealed my cuts, but also cushioned everyday blows. Within 2 days the cuts are themselves almost seem to be glued together. I will definitely purchase these in the future especially for more serious cuts and scrapes. Totally worth the price!Product Review: Best band-aid ever

i discovered these in our supply catalogue at work. they stay on for days and help cuts/scrapes heal really fast.Product Review: Great Results/ Adheres Well/ Requires Less Care
Summary: 5 Stars
In September of 2007 I was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma. These carcinomas are one of the non-metastatic skin cancers.
My carcinoma was removed in my dermatologist's office. Prior to the removal I had showered and scrubbed the area where the cancer was located. The woman who removed the cancer also scrubbed the site. I planned to use this particular bandage and I believed it was important that it only be used over a wound that was recent and very clean.
The cancer was excised and I had 5 stitches to close the removal area.
At the time of the excision I was told that I should remove my bandage, apply an antibiotic ointment and re-bandage the wound two times a day.
I was not given a prescription for oral antibiotics.
Prior to the excision I had researched this type of bandage. They are a type of bandage called a "HYDROCOLLOID". They have been used after surgeries for about twenty years. Their successful use over stitches (also called, "sutures") is well researched and documented.
The product information on these bandages says not to use them over stitches, however, because I knew that extensive research showed them to be fine for use over stitches, I decided to use them anyway.
I also knew from my research prior to the excision, that it was considered desirable to leave this dressing/bandage on for at least 5 days before changing. Therefore, I ignored the recommendation made at the doctor's office and left the bandage on for 5 days before each change. I did not use any topical antibiotics.
After two weeks I went back to the doctor's office to get my stitches removed. I told them that I had used this hydrocolloid bandage and that I had only changed the bandage twice since the surgery. When they removed the bandage and stitches they remarked that the wound looked remarkably well-healed and that scarring seemed unusually light.
I would suggest looking up HYDROCOLLOID bandages on the Internet to get more information on them. Also, I WOULD ONLY USE THESE BANDAGES ON A WOUND THAT IS VERY CLEAN, UNINFECTED AND LESS THAN A FEW HOURS OLD.
I like this bandage because it stayed on very well, limited the amount of cleaning, medication and re-bandaging I needed to do and I had very little scarring.
Product Review: Preschool Proof!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son (age 4) had a deep cut on his finger. I went searching for the perfect bandaid to outlast all his playtime and handwashing while at preschool all day. The activ-flex was perfect! It lasted all day and when I removed it at the end of the day, although his hands were dirty, the area under the bandage was clean! I have recommended this band-aid to his teachers and everyone I know!
