Biatain® foam dressings are made of a unique 3-D polymer that provides superior exudate management. This polymer structure within the dressing pad absorbs and locks exudates away. The dressing is a superior choice under compression therapy due to its high absorption and retention capabilities.
Sterile, super-absorbent foam dressing for exuding wounds that offers a soft, protective cushioning effect, ensuring longer wearing time.
No lateral spreading.
Less risk of maceration.
Consists of highly absorbent foam and semipermeable, top layer film for optimal moist wound environment and extended wear times.
Ideal under compression.
Designed with soft, beveled edges. This makes the dressing more comfortable and lowers the risk of leaving pressure marks on the skin.

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.
