Hi Mrs. D.

I have never heard of the word Tegaderm. So I can definitely tell you that was not the name of the cover thing that we got from Janssen Pharmaceuticals (the people who made the Duragesic Fentanyl pain patch). Alan was on their patient assistance program 5 years ago. Thank god for those people because his pain level was through the roof. And the day I rubbed the capsaicin creme on his toe, well forget it, I thought he would have a stroke. I probably should not have done what I did, but he was on 50 of the fentanyl and the only thing I could think to do was take a 25 patch and stick it next to the 50 patch. That put him on 75 of the fentanyl. Then I rubbed off the creme and applied ice.

That was a rough 1 hour experience at 1 a.m. I'll never forget it!!!

I have got to remember what the heck the name of those covers were.


UPDATE.....FOUND IT.

They are called: "Johnson & Johnson bioclusive wound management adhesive covers"
