Yikes some of that stuff is expensive! I got my Tegaderm when a local Albertson's grocery store was going out of business and selling off everything in the store for 70% off or more. I literally bought everything they had left for something like $1.50 a box, so I am stockpiled with seven or eight boxes of the stuff.

So you day Tegaderm isn't the best choice for a wound that is still oozing. Would these new-generation bandages be any better (I also got them at the grocery store clearance)? The ones I have are Johnson&Johnson Advanced Healing Adhesive Pads, like this:

On the box at least, they advertise that they allow for some evaporation while still keeping the wound moist.

Or should I just go buy some Adaptic pads at my local Walgreens?
