Description
The DermaRite Bordered Foam Fenestrated Dressing is shaped for the awkward job of dressing around tubes. Its round foam disc carries a radial slit and a starburst opening, so it slides around a tube site instead of being cut by hand. For peritubular wounds, that ready-made opening saves time and gives a neater fit.
- Ready Tube Opening – A radial slit and starburst opening are formed at the factory, not cut at the bedside.
- Round Disc Shape – The 4 inch round format matches peritubular wound footprints.
- Foam Absorption – The foam pad manages exudate right at the tube site.
Fenestrated Foam Dressing for Peritubular Sites
This round, fenestrated version of Bordered Foam is built for wounds at tube sites, where flat dressings bunch and hand-cut slits fray. The radial slit opens so the dressing can be placed around the tube, and the starburst center accommodates the tube itself. The foam layer absorbs exudate at the site while the bordered island format holds the dressing in place. It is indicated for partial and full thickness wounds at peritubular surgical wound sites and for peritubular hypergranulation. Each box contains 10 dressings.
Features and Benefits
Tube Site Design
- Radial Slit Opening – A radial slit and starburst opening allow convenient application around tube sites.

Foam Performance

Why Choose the Fenestrated Bordered Foam
Dressing around tubes usually means cutting a slit in a flat dressing and accepting a poor fit. This disc is manufactured for exactly that site, with the slit and starburst opening already formed. The result is faster application and a dressing that sits flat around the tube.
- Made for Tubes – The starburst opening fits around the tube instead of forcing the dressing to bunch beside it.
- Faster Changes – No bedside cutting means quicker, cleaner application at every change.
- Site Specific Indication – It is indicated for peritubular surgical sites and peritubular hypergranulation, not adapted from another use.
- Absorbent Foam Core – Exudate at the site is absorbed by the foam pad, protecting the skin ring around the tube.
