Medline Optifoam Gentle Adhesive Silicone-Faced Foam Sacral Dressing with Border, 7" x 7", Sacrum, Sterile, MSC2177EP
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Medline Optifoam Gentle Adhesive Silicone-Faced Foam Sacral Dressing with Border is a versatile dressing option that provides gentle and effective wound care. It features a unique five-layer design, which includes a superabsorbent core that converts exudate into a gel to promote wound healing. Also, the dressing is made with a highly conformable silicone border that provides gentle adhesion, reducing the risk of skin damage when the dressing is lifted and reapplied. The Optifoam dressing's moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) adjusts to fluid level, which helps increase breathability and prevent maceration, ideal for those with delicate or sensitive skin. Optifoam Gentle Silicone-Faced Foam Sacral Dressing is perfect for individuals who have partial or full-thickness wounds and require advanced wound care management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is foam dressing used for?
A: Foam dressings are used for moderate to heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, and traumatic wounds. They absorb fluid, protect the wound, and support healing.
Q: How often should foam dressings be changed?
A: Foam dressings are typically changed every 3 to 7 days or as needed depending on the amount of exudate. Always follow the wound care professional’s recommendations.
Q: How do foam dressings work?
A: Foam dressings absorb exudate while keeping the wound moist. They help prevent infection, reduce pain, and protect the wound from external contaminants.
Q: Can foam dressings be used on infected wounds?
A: Some foam dressings are formulated with antimicrobial agents suitable for infected wounds. Always consult with a healthcare provider before applying to an infected site.
Q: Are foam dressings suitable for dry wounds?
A: Foam dressings are typically not recommended for dry wounds because they are designed to absorb moisture. Hydrogel dressings may be more appropriate for dry or necrotic wounds.
Q: Do foam dressings stick to wounds?
A: Non-adherent foam dressings do not stick to wounds and are gentle during removal. Adhesive foam dressings stick around the wound, not directly on it.
