Need iodine patches for infected wound. - someone is sending the patches/dressings, still need the shoe covers.

EDIT: Someone has kindly ordered the iodine patches and dressings for me. I still need the waterproof shoe covers though, as I can't wear shoes at the moment but I still need to go outside sometimes, need something to stop my socks getting wet/dirty. Something like this:

I've been trying not to ask for help again on here so soon, worried that people will get sick of me. But my surgical wounds are infected and while I have the dressings I need, thanks to help received from here, I now need medical iodine patches. They are sterile patches of gauze that you place directly over the wounds and they fight the infection. They aren't provided on the NHS, I have to pay for them myself. I need them very urgently, less than two weeks ago I ended up in the emergency department because the infection got so bad and I really don't want it to get that bad again. (I've written about it in my post history if anyone's interested.)

Due to the DWP checking people's bank accounts, I don't feel safe asking for actual money if I can avoid it (I'm going through a disability benefit appeal.) So I am hoping someone might order these patches and send them to me. I need as many as I can get as they said the wounds from this current surgery could take another 3 months to heal fully, and I'm having another surgery on 24th April. But even one box would be a huge help.

It's really quite urgent. I need the 5cm x 5cm.

They are available from various online medical suppliers who take paypal and cedit/debit cards: https://medicaldressings.co.uk/inadine-iodine-dressings/

They are available on amazon:

I am also getting low on the outer dressings, if anyone can help with this. I need the 7.2 x 5cm:

Due to being unable to wear shoes at the moment but still having to go outside sometimes, I really need some of these. They gave me some at the hospital with my original bandage pack but I'm about to run out:
