A Tegaderm has a similar effect on small scrapes and burns. It seals in a lot of the moisture while still allowing you to sweat through it. I still irrigate the wound thoroughly before bandaging, but it's nice not having to change dressings while the wound is healing.

- IncRnd 9y agoThat's good to know. Thanks! While not an expert on this particular science, I noticed that the look of the applied bandages is entirely different. The BA bandage puffs up with moisture, while the Tegaderm visually seems as if it only creates a seal.
- jschwartzi 9y agoThat's true. The tegaderm doesn't wick or remove moisture. It simply provides a barrier while the wound is healing.
