MediPurpose MediPlus Comfort Foam Border Ag Island Dressing
PRODUCT DETAILS
MediPurpose MediPlus Comfort Foam Border Ag is a sterile, multi-layer island dressing that adheres directly to intact skin through an acrylic-adhesive polyurethane film border, so it can be applied without a secondary dressing or fixation bandage. A thick, soft, elastic polyurethane foam pad absorbs exudate, and a silver (Ag) net layer acts as an antimicrobial barrier. It is indicated for the absorption of exudate and the management of partial- to full-thickness wounds, including venous, arterial and diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, donor sites, surgical incisions and excisions, and first- and second-degree burns. The line comes in multiple sizes, including a sacral format cut to fit the sacrum.
Key Features and Benefits
- Adhesive border: a polyurethane film coated with acrylic adhesive extends around the edge, holding the dressing to intact skin without a secondary dressing or fixation bandage.
- High-absorbency foam pad: thick, soft, elastic polyurethane foam with an open-cell structure absorbs exudate.
- Antimicrobial barrier: a silver (Ag) net layer acts as an antimicrobial barrier.
- Sterility: each dressing is sterile.
- Wear time: the dressing can remain in place for five to seven days, depending on the amount of exudate.
- Regulatory status: the MediPlus silver foam line received FDA 510(k) clearance (K110062) in 2011.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is foam dressing used for?
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.
How often should foam dressings be changed?
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.
How do foam dressings work?
Foam dressings absorb exudate while keeping the wound moist. They help prevent infection, reduce pain, and protect the wound from external contaminants.
Can foam dressings be used on infected wounds?
Some foam dressings are formulated with antimicrobial agents suitable for infected wounds. Always consult with a healthcare provider before applying to an infected site.
Are foam dressings suitable for dry wounds?
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.
Do foam dressings stick to wounds?
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.
