Medline Optifoam Gentle Silicone Border Dressing

Medline Optifoam Gentle Foam Wound Dressing Features

Highly breathable film works as a secure waterproof barrier to bacteria
A super absorbent layer of Optifoam adhesive foam dressing absorbs and retains exudate in the Optifaom dressing, minimizing the risk of maceration
The transfer layer between the super absorbent layer and wicking foam layer ensures that exudate is transferred to the super absorbent layer as efficiently as possible
The foam layer initiates vertical absorption of exudate away from the wound bed into the transfer and super absorbent layers, thereby minimizing the pooling of exudate at the wound face of the absorbent dressing
Silicone adhesive minimizes trauma to the wound and helps reduce pain upon wear or removal

Not the size I ordered

I ordered these with the 44 near the end of the reorder code. I received 6" x 6". Because this is to prevent skin sheer on hips I kept it and my prescribed bandages for over a wound and its dressing came 2 days later and we no longer had to get creative to make a 6 x 6 fit. I checked the reorder numbers on line and they follow what I was I was told: 33 = 3" x 3"; 44= 4" x 4" and 66 = 6" x 6". At least the padded part appears to be close to the 2.5" in the online catalog. This was human error as I called and spoke to a human to avoid this. The correct size bandage is a terrific product for delicate skin.

These are expensive, but they are the BEST dressing for wound that are leaky, that are healing slowly, and that need excellent protection. The foam holds any exudate for some time, and the tape is gentle, does NOT tear skin at all. Best of all, unless the wound is in an awkward area, where the tape has to cover tiny curves, the tape holds, and you can take showers without worrying about getting the bandage wet.
