Derma Sciences Hydrocell Non-Adhesive Foam Dressing with Film Backing, 4" x 4"
PRODUCT DETAILS
Sterile, Latex-Free
Foams are the advanced wound care cover dressing of choice for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Hydrocell® polyurethane foam sheets are hydrophilic in nature, so they can absorb a large amount of fluid and provide a soft and cushioning layer for added patient comfort. They are easy for clinicians to apply and to remove, with minimal trauma to the patient and to the wound bed. Our Hydrocell Foam Dressing is nonadhesive and has an outer film layer providing a barrier to external contaminants. A secondary dressing or tape needs to hold this dressing in place.

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.
