I put on the CVS generic equivalent of Tegaderm just this morning. It looks like plastic wrap with a lot of little holes in it. It is pretty pricey. The CVS brand costs a little over $7 a box of 3. So ~$2.33 a piece. Almost want to take plastic wrap and make a ton of little holes with a pin. All of these plastic wrpas are nice, but I also still have to put on sergical tape to help keep them on. They never stay on well enough by themselves...
