Description
The DermaRite Bordered Foam Dressing pairs a thirsty hydrophilic foam pad with a waterproof adhesive backing in one island dressing. It absorbs up to 20 times its own weight in fluid, which matters on wounds that soak plain gauze in hours. The bordered design stays put and cushions the wound while it works.
- Island Convenience – Pad, absorbency and adhesive border arrive in one ready dressing.
- High Fluid Uptake – The foam absorbs up to 20 times its weight in wound fluid.
- Waterproof Shield – A waterproof backing guards the wound against outside moisture.
Waterproof Bordered Foam for Exuding Wounds
Bordered Foam is an island dressing built around a highly absorbent primary hydrophilic foam layer with a waterproof, adhesive backing. The foam wicks fluid away from the wound surface, which decreases maceration risk while maintaining a moist wound environment. Its absorbency also provides mild compression and absorption that help manage hypergranulation tissue. The waterproof composite secondary layer keeps the dressing in place and prevents contamination from outside. The dressing conforms easily to awkward to dress areas and is not made with natural rubber latex.

Why Choose Bordered Foam for Wet Wounds
Exuding wounds punish weak dressings with leaks, macerated edges and unplanned changes. Bordered Foam answers with high uptake foam and a waterproof bordered backing that keeps fluid in and contaminants out. One dressing covers absorption, cushioning and securement, which simplifies the change routine.
- High Capacity Foam – Absorbing up to 20 times its weight stretches wear time on heavily draining wounds.
- Drier Periwound Skin – Active wicking pulls fluid off the skin edge, lowering maceration risk.
- No Extra Tape – The adhesive border secures the island, so no secondary tape is needed to keep it placed.
- Cushion Plus Cover – Foam padding shields the wound from bumps while the waterproof film guards against outside moisture.
