PRODUCT DETAILS
Medline Optifoam Adhesive Sterile Foam Wound Dressing 6" x 6" is the ultimate solution for advanced wound care. This waterproof dressing with a polyurethane backing creates an optimally moist wound environment, prevents strike-through, and safeguards against bacterial contamination. Its moisture vapor transmission rate adapts to the fluid level in the wound, while the foam pad's micropores ensure low adherence and higher fluid-handling capacity compared to other brands. With its expanding foam island, this dressing maintains continuous contact with the wound surface, improving fluid handling for optimal healing. Medline Optifoam Foam Dressing provides superior wound care, comfort, and expedited recovery in pressure injuries, chronic wounds, and post-surgical sites.

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.
