Should probably mention similar products such as tegaderm here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reklar (talk • contribs) 08:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone please explain to me the difference between the article subject and this thing (image)? If there is none, the image could be used in the article. HLHJ (talk) 18:15, 3 August 2015 (UTC) ^{[medical citation needed]}[reply]

Corresponding German article[edit]

Should this link to de:Feuchte Wundbehandlung (treatment of wounds by keeping them moist) and not de:Blasenpflaster (literally "blisterbandage", used colloquially for hydrogel dressings)? HLHJ (talk) 22:44, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge request[edit]

It has been suggested that this article be merged with Hydrogel dressing. This was apparently suggest by User:HLHJ with the placing of the tag October 9, 2017‎.

Comments: I do not object to merging, and both articles can even now more than likely be merged together without controversy, but the proper target for both is Dressing (medical). ---- Otr500 (talk) 06:19, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge, on the grounds that these are two different types of dressing which can be summarized at Dressing (medical) and then links to separate pages for further information. So, I think that improvement rather than merging is preferable. Klbrain (talk) 10:50, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given the lack of support. Klbrain (talk) 14:31, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

External links[edit]

That link is either broken or incorrect. It doesn't go to a fact sheet on wound care, it goes to an article called What is an inflammation?. And also PubMed Health will be discontinued as of October this year (2018). If the article's going to be merged anyway, the link could probably be left behind.
