Description
The Genadyne Thick Green Foam Dressing Kit brings Genadyne's signature green foam to negative pressure wound therapy for wounds that need a full-depth dressing. Anyone who has peeled adherent foam out of a wound bed knows how much a dressing change can set a patient back, and a foam that releases cleanly changes that experience. The kit pairs the foam with the film drape and port that complete the dressing, so the care team opens one package and gets to work.
- Fully Reticulated Green Foam – Open-pore polyurethane moves exudate through the dressing, helps the wound bed drain evenly under pressure.
- Non-Adherent Surface – The foam releases without gripping new tissue, makes dressing changes calmer for the patient.
- Green Contrast Color – The green tint separates viable from nonviable tissue at a glance, supports faster wound bed assessment.
- Complete Kit Format – Foam, film drape and port ship together in matched counts, removes the hunt for separate components.
Thick Foam Depth for Wounds That Need Full Coverage
This dressing kit is built around a 3.3 cm thick block of reticulated polyurethane foam, the deepest profile in the Genadyne green foam line. The foam is made with polyurethane resin for better hydrolytic stability, so it holds its structure through the wear interval instead of breaking down in the wound. Three sizes cover the range from smaller surgical sites to large traumatic wounds, and each size ships with its port and the film count that size needs. Clinicians running the XLR8 or XLR8 Plus pumps get a dressing that was designed alongside those systems, with the port connection the pumps expect. For the patient, the payoff is a dressing change that ends quickly and a wound bed that stays undisturbed between changes.
Features and Benefits
Foam Performance
- Reticulated Polyurethane Foam: The fully reticulated pore structure lets exudate and infectious material pass through the dressing toward the canister instead of pooling at the wound surface.
- Hydrolytic Stability: Polyurethane resin in the foam matrix resists breakdown from wound fluid, so the dressing keeps its shape for the full wear time.
- Non-Adherent Contact: The foam surface does not grip granulation tissue, which reduces pain and discomfort when the dressing comes off.
Kit and Compatibility
- Matched Kit Contents: Every kit carries one foam, one port and the film count for its size, so nothing needs to be sourced separately at the bedside.
- Tissue Contrast Color: The green color helps clinicians differentiate viable and nonviable tissue in the wound bed during assessment.
- NPWT System Fit: The included port connects the dressing to Genadyne NPWT pumps for continuous or variable negative pressure therapy.

Why Thick Green Foam Earns Its Place in the Dressing Cart
Generic black foam kits ask the clinician to accept whatever the foam does at removal time. This kit answers with a foam that was engineered to let go, a color chosen for assessment, and contents counted out per size before the package is sealed. That combination means fewer surprises during the change and a wound bed the team can read at a glance.
- Cleaner Removals – Non-adherent foam lifts away without tearing at new tissue – patients dread dressing changes less.
- Assessment-Friendly Color – Green contrasts with the wound bed on purpose – viable tissue stands out during rounds.
- Right-Sized Coverage – Three sizes span small to large wounds – less trimming and less wasted foam.
- Designed With the Pump – The kit port and the XLR8 systems come from the same engineering team – connections seat the way they should.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which pump systems does this kit work with?
The kit is made for Genadyne NPWT systems, including the XLR8 and XLR8 Plus pumps. Its port connects the dressing to the pump tubing so therapy starts as soon as the drape is sealed.
What comes in each kit?
Each kit contains one green foam dressing and one port, with one film drape in the small size and two film drapes in the medium and large sizes. All three sizes ship ten kits per case.
Why is the foam green?
Genadyne chose the green color so clinicians can better differentiate viable and nonviable tissue in the wound bed. The contrast makes assessment faster during routine dressing changes.
How is thick foam different from thin foam?
The thick profile measures 3.3 cm deep and suits wounds that need full-depth filling and coverage. The thin profile is the shallower alternative for wounds that do not need that depth.
Does the foam stick to the wound?
No, the foam is non-adherent, so it releases from the wound bed at removal instead of gripping new tissue. That design reduces pain and discomfort during dressing changes.
