PRODUCT DETAILS
MediPlus™-Comfort foam border Ag island dressing, 4" x 4", 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" pad size, sterile. The MediPlus™ Comfort Foam Border Ag is an island dressing on a polyurethane adhesive border to allow fixation without secondary dressing or fixation
Polyurethane foam provides a cushioning effect and high absorption capacity up to 20 g/g.
The polyurethane film outermost layer is highly breathable, up to 5000 g/m2/24hr MVTR.
It is also bacteria proof and waterproof.
The perforated polyurethane film in MediPlus Comfort Foam prevents adherence of the foam pad to the wound bed, allowing for removal with reduced pain and trauma.
It acts as a filter for thick exudates and slough which are more likely to block the foam surface and hinder its absorption capacity.

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.
