Work best over hexagels or hydrogel pads, which is what they're made for. The hydrogel helps them adhere better, since the hydrogel is also a bit sticky. These cover, and help protect the hydrogel pads, to keep them securely in place. Hydrogel pads won't stick to delicate injuries like blisters. When, used alone, they work fairly well on flatter surfaces. But, they'll kinda fold up along edges, and come off quicker, when used on movable areas, like fingers. They're very soft. They're not really intended to cover on their own. They may stick to raw, irritated skin, when used alone. But, you could use them for some things.

Since receiving these hydrogel pads, I have had so many little cuts, and these have been so appropriate and handy!! The cuts have been mainly on my fingers, but a couple of them were on my forearms. The pads stuck very well to my forearms, but I don't expect anything to stick to my fingers. For the cuts on my fingers, I put the pads on them and then covered them with fingercots...it worked very well and the hydrogel helped them to heal quite quickly! I love these little pads! These are made in Pennsylvania, USA.

These little circles are good for covering small cuts, blisters, even bug bites. The adhesion is good for a short period of time. After a while, these do start to peel up, but I don't feel like they're meant to last a long time anyway. You can get a few hours out of them at least. I've used them to cover a cut on my finger while I cleaned or washed dishes, and they're good for that. My wound was protected when I needed it to be, and these are just big enough to cover a small cut with some antibiotic cream on it. These come on a convenient little roll, and they're easy to apply. All things considered, I'd say these are a good value, and I'd get them again.

I use this to cover small cuts and they work well. They stick and don't come off but are breathable.

I did not have a hydrogel packet to try with this product but I did end up using it to tape over an existing adhesive I had on my finger (save a bandaid). It held well enough for the short time that I needed it while I worked on a project to protect my wound from getting contaminated.

Quite honestly, I have mixed emotions concerning the Medagel Protective Adhesive Knit Medical Tape to Secure Hydrogel. The pros are that they offer great protection for the hydrogel/ointment covering a wound. They are also ideal for blisters, whether on the heel, toe, or finger. They are enclosed in a neat little dispenser box so they are ready to be used without a lot of fanfare. The cons are not really that bad. One is the size, which is a mere one and a half inches. Of course, when used on the digits, that is not even a con. The other con is the adhesion. After a short time of wearing them, they start curling at the edges. These are the only cons so I only deducted one star. I would purchase them so I do recommend them.

The adhesion is not as great as I expected. Even without a hydrogel blocking some of the stickiness, it only holds to a knuckle for several hours (see pic after four hours). On a smooth body part, it holds pretty well. The pic of my arm is after 12 hours and a shower, and it is peeling up just a little. However, the value for the money is very good. You get 200 pads which will last a long time and you can easily replace any pad that’s coming loose any time. Also, this is a great solution for a foot blister. I used to use bandaids, which aren’t really meant for that. They are meant to leave a loose spot for a wound. This is sticky and flexible all the way across and is a cheap and simple way to protect a sore heel or any body part getting rubbed too much. Very useful and versatile.

These protective adhesive knit circles are meant to be used with hydragel hexagons. I was able to use these without the hydragels. I put triple antibiotic cream over a scrape and placed the circle over it. The circle does not adhere to the cream, so make sure to use neosporin or vaseline to protect your cut or the circle will stick to it. These stick best to larger areas of skin. They don't stick great to the area between your thumb and palm because of the amount of movement, but should be fine for your fingers.

Medagel Protective Adhesive Knit Medical Tape This medical tape is quite small… 1½” circles. They come on a roll that is neatly inside a nice dispenser box. You can use a small piece of gauze with them & they do have fairly good adhesion. Does not irritate my skin. Great to have on hand.

I want to start by saying that I don't have the hydrogel that this product is recommended for. Sticks well to the skin without irritation. Covered an area sprayed with backing and the patch stuck. Stayed on through a nap, and the wet skin from the spray. Doesn't pull on skin.
