How do Foam Dressings work?

• Foam dressings for wounds are known to provide the right amount of moisture required for healing.
• They provide a protective barrier against bacteria and shield the wound from infections.
• These dressings allow water vapor to enter but not bacteria and other contaminants.
• Foam dressings provide insulation keeping the wound bed warm and moist.
• They do not adhere to the wound and permit trauma-free dressing changes.
• Such dressings serve as a cushion on the wound surface.
• You can use these dressings during compression therapy and also on wounds with hyper-granulation and infections.
