Description
The Genadyne Thin Green Foam Dressing Kit gives shallow wounds a foam that already fits their depth, with no trimming a thick block down by hand. Cutting foam in half at the bedside wastes time and leaves uneven edges, and shallow wounds pay for that roughness at every change. This kit arrives ready to place, with the port and film counted in.
- Shallow-Wound Profile – Thin foam matches shallow wound depth out of the package, saves the bedside cutting step entirely.
- Fully Reticulated Green Foam – Open-pore polyurethane drains exudate evenly, helps the wound bed stay clear under pressure.
- Non-Adherent Surface – Releases without gripping new tissue, keeps dressing changes gentler for the patient.
- Complete Kit Format – Foam, port and film ship together in matched counts, one package covers the whole change.
A Shallower Foam That Skips the Scissors
Standard NPWT foam comes thick, and shallow wounds have traditionally meant cutting that foam down to size before the dressing can start. Genadyne built this thin profile so the foam arrives at the depth shallow wounds actually need, in two sizes that cover most presentations. The material is the same reticulated polyurethane as the thick line, made with polyurethane resin for hydrolytic stability through the wear interval. Its non-adherent surface protects new granulation tissue when the dressing comes off, and the green color keeps viable and nonviable tissue easy to tell apart. Teams running XLR8 or XLR8 Plus therapy get a kit whose port and film counts are already matched to the size chosen.
Features and Benefits
Foam Performance
- Reticulated Polyurethane Foam: The open pore structure passes exudate through the dressing toward the canister, which keeps the wound surface from sitting in pooled fluid.
- Hydrolytic Stability: Polyurethane resin helps the foam hold together against wound fluid for the full wear interval.
- Non-Adherent Contact: The contact surface releases from the wound bed at removal, protecting the granulation tissue the therapy is building.
Fit and Compatibility
- Pre-Sized Thin Profile: The foam is manufactured at shallow-wound depth, which removes the cut-to-fit step and its uneven edges.
- Tissue Contrast Color: The green tint helps clinicians differentiate viable and nonviable tissue during assessment.
- NPWT System Fit: The included port connects to Genadyne NPWT pumps for continuous or variable negative pressure therapy.

Why a Thin Kit Beats Cutting Thick Foam by Hand
The usual workaround for a shallow wound is a pair of scissors and a thick foam block. This kit removes that step with a foam manufactured at the right depth, in sizes that arrive ready to place. The result is a faster change, a cleaner wound edge, and a patient who gets through the procedure with less discomfort.
- Ready at the Right Depth – Foam arrives sized for shallow wounds – no cutting, no guesswork at the bedside.
- Even, Clean Edges – A manufactured profile keeps the wound edge uniform – the dressing seats flat the first time.
- Same Trusted Foam – The reticulated green foam matches the thick line material – assessment stays consistent across the plan.
- Faster Changes – Port and film counts are matched to the size – the change takes minutes, not a supply run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which sizes does the thin kit come in?
This kit is stocked in small and medium, the two sizes most shallow wounds need. The small foam measures 6 x 6 cm and the medium measures 15 x 10 cm.
How is thin foam different from thick foam?
Thin foam is made for shallow wounds and arrives at a depth of 2.5 cm in the small size and 2.0 cm in the medium. Thick foam is 3.3 cm deep and is meant for wounds that need full-depth filling.
What comes in each kit?
Each kit contains one green foam dressing and one port, plus one film drape in the small size or two in the medium. Kits ship ten per case in both sizes.
Which pump systems does this kit work with?
The kit is made for Genadyne NPWT systems, including the XLR8 and XLR8 Plus pumps. The included port connects the dressing to the pump tubing.
Does the foam stick to the wound?
No, the foam is non-adherent and releases from the wound bed at removal. That design makes dressing changes more comfortable and protects new tissue.
