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)
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.
