This is a box of Telfas. They are a special type of bandage that will not stick to one's wounds. If a wound is dry its safe to wear a gauze type dressing but if one has a wound that is wet or bloody these things work great. Pyoderma can generate some really terrible sores that are not only painful but require creative dressings. They come in a variety of sizes and are not expensive. This entire box cost about $20.

I only wear these when I'm hanging around at home. Because they don't stick, they do a poor job of staying secure on my sore. I used to use telfas while outside but after a few hours of use they would start sliding down my leg. Not a good situation. Since my movement at home is minimal, Telfa is a pain free choice to wear around the house.

While using Telfas, I cover them with a few pieces of gauze and then I cover the entire area with a few pieces of finishing gauze and then tape the whole thing down.
