Soft and comfortable while minimizing the risk of maceration, this Molnlycke Mepilex Lite Thin Foam Dressing is designed for treating low exudating acute wounds or even chronic wounds. Easily customizable by trimming this foam dressing to your wound size, it is waterproof and can be used under compression bandages. It also has a great adherence which prevents slipping.
Medline Optifoam Gentle Silicone Border Hydrophilic Foam Wound Dressing is highly absorbent and ideal for wounds with drainage. It helps ease the pain and trauma of dressing changes. Optifoam Gentle features a specially-formulated silicone adhesive that helps keep the dressing in place while allowing it to be removed and repositioned. It also minimizes harm to the peri-wound skin. Absorbent foam of Optifoam Gentle retains fluid, protects against infection, and helps prevent shear and friction.

Dressings with Safetac reduce patient pain and wound or skin damage during dressing changes. Conformable enough to dress wounds on hands, fingers, feet, and toes. The showerproof film provides a barrier against bacteria and virus greater than 25nm. It is thin and discrete design lets the user live a normal life and is atraumatic to the wound & surrounding skin on removal.
The ideal Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) of this dressing makes this foam dressing ideal for removing moisture and humidity from the skin while absorbing exudate and reducing maceration. By locking away moisture and bacteria, this foam dressing creates an ideal wound healing environment while maintaining the ability to absorb exudate under gentle pressure.
Made from specially designed foam that minimizes the risk of granulation tissue being absorbed into the foam, this Medline Optifoam adhesive dressing can handle high wound exudate easily. The waterproof outer layer minimizes the risk of infection and this foam dressing can adjust depending upon the fluid level in the wound bed.
Hydrofera Blue Classic Foam Dressing creates an anti-bacterial barrier to minimize the risk of infection. It can impede the growth of microorganisms by binding 2 organic pigments (gentian violet and methylene blue) to form an open-celled polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to bind bacteria and other harmful endotoxins to the foam dressing.
Sterile, adhesive, and latex-free, this Medline Optifoam Gentle Dressing is highly absorbent and creates an efficient wound healing environment. The silicone border provides secure adhesion and a conformable border that can be lifted and reapplied, and can be left in place for seven days.
Containing antibacterial properties to minimize infection, this Hydrofera Blue Antibacterial Foam Dressing contains open-celled polyurethane foam that is ideal for moderate to heavy exudating wounds. There is no hydration required prior to application and no need for a secondary dressing and stay in place for up to seven days. It can be applied quickly and is non-cytotoxic.
Medline Optifoam Gentle Silicone-Faced Foam And Border Dressing feature specially formulated silicone adhesive that keeps the dressings in place. It is highly absorbent and helps in creating an ideal healing environment. This highly conformable dressing can be lifted and reapplied. The moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of Optifoam Gentle adjusts to fluid level. Its super absorbent core absorbs exudate, converts it into a gel, and locks it away. The low-profile design of Optifoam Gentle increases flexibility and comfort.
PolyMem Cloth Adhesive Dressing, an innovative foam dressing is made from a hydrophilic polyurethane membrane matrix with a semi-permeable polyurethane film backing. This makes the foam dressing breathable and comfortable and the patient and can be used as both a primary or secondary dressing. Available in different configurations and an application period of up to seven days, this non-adhesive wound pad can effectively clean, fill, absorb, and moisten wounds.
