Event Description

(b)(4) review dated september 11, 2021: didn't keep incision dry.Did not stay on.I should have been leery when they came in a bubble pack envelope and not in a sealed medical envelope of some sort.No way to know how long they have sat on a shelf somewhere.No expiration date either.This was a complete waste of money - non refundable, non returnable.It appeared to stick but as soon as there was any moisture near the area i was trying to keep dry the seal was useless.Now i have to watch for infection since moisture was introduced to a surgical site.
