Waterproof Foam Island Dressing with Adhesive Border
DermaFoam is a waterproof, absorbent, adhesive foam island dressing built around a non-adherent absorbent foam pad. It absorbs moderate amounts of exudate, protects and cushions the wound, and helps maintain a moist healing environment. The dressing is highly conformable, so it can be used in awkward to dress areas, and its waterproof surface doubles as a bacterial barrier. It is indicated for exuding wounds including chronic and acute wounds and first and second degree burns. Sizes include a shaped option for heels and elbows.
