Description
The DermaRite ComfortFoam Ag Foam Dressing is the non-border silver foam for wounds that need trimming to shape. Its soft silicone wound contact surface carries silver that helps reduce bacterial colonization in the dressing. Without a border, the pad can be cut to fit awkward wound outlines.
- Trim to Fit – The borderless pad cuts to the exact wound outline.
- Silver Support – Silver helps reduce bacterial colonization in the dressing.
- Gentle Silicone Face – The contact surface is gentle on wound bed and skin alike.
Non-Border Silver Foam Dressing for Exuding Wounds
ComfortFoam Ag is a self-adherent silicone foam dressing with silver, a vapor permeable waterproof backing, and a soft silicone wound contact surface. It absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound healing environment while minimizing the risk of maceration. The non-border format may be cut to fit the wound site, which suits irregular shapes and locations where a bordered island cannot sit flat. The silicone adhesive is gentle to both wound bed and skin for safe, easy removal. It can be worn for several days depending on wound condition, and it is indicated for exuding wounds including leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, traumatic and surgical wounds, and superficial and partial thickness burns.

Why Choose the Non-Border ComfortFoam Ag
Bordered islands fail on wounds whose shape or location leaves no flat skin for the border. This non-border version keeps the silver and silicone benefits and simply lets the clinician trim the pad to the wound. It is the same bioburden support, shaped to the wound in front of you.
- Trim to Any Outline – Cutting the pad to fit covers irregular wounds that bordered dressings cannot seal.
- Silver Where It Counts – Silver in the foam helps reduce bacterial colonization as exudate is absorbed.
- Gentle on Removal – The silicone contact surface releases without stripping the wound bed.
- Moisture Balanced – Absorption plus a vapor permeable backing keeps the wound moist, not wet.
