Description
The Genadyne XLR8 Port Pad is the soft, low-profile interface that connects a foam dressing to the XLR8 therapy line. A hard port pressing into the skin around a wound creates its own pressure problem, and patients feel it every hour the therapy runs. This pad answers with a cushioned dome and a film base that spreads the contact out.
- Soft, Low-Profile Dome – The cushioned port sits gently on the dressing, decreases the chance of pressure points on the skin.
- Film-Based Attachment – The 10 x 13 cm film disc anchors the pad to the drape, enhances dressing security through the wear interval.
- Detachable Luer Lock – The line disconnects at the pad, frees the patient to move without breaking the dressing seal.
- Integrated Clip – A built-in clip manages the hose run, keeps tubing tidy at the bedside and on the move.
The Interface That Decides Whether NPWT Is Comfortable
Every NPWT dressing needs a bridge between the foam and the pump, and this port pad is that bridge for the XLR8 system. Its dome measures 5 cm across and sits low against the dressing, so the contact point stays soft where it meets the patient. The film disc spreads 10 by 13 cm across the drape and holds the pad in place with film-based attachment rather than pressure alone. A 70 cm hose gives the line enough reach for the patient to shift and move, and the detachable luer lock lets staff separate the line for a dressing check or a trip down the hall. The integrated clip keeps that hose managed instead of trailing.
Features and Benefits
Patient Interface
- Low-Profile Port Dome: The soft dome keeps the connection point cushioned, which increases patient comfort and lowers the chance of pressure points.
- Film Disc Attachment: The film-based attachment spreads across the drape and enhances the security of the whole dressing.
Line Management
- Detachable Luer Lock: The luer connection detaches at the pad, supporting patient mobility and easier dressing changes.

Why the Port Pad Is Not a Generic Part
The port is the one component that touches the patient's day directly, pressing, pulling and catching as the hours pass. This pad was shaped by the same team that built the pump and the foam, with a dome profile and film base sized for their dressings. That fit shows up as fewer pressure complaints and a dressing that stays sealed.
- Comfort by Design – A soft, low dome replaces a hard port edge – patients stop guarding the site.
- Security That Lasts – Film attachment spreads the hold across the drape – seals survive the full wear interval.
- Freedom to Move – A detachable lock and a managed hose – trips and transfers stop threatening the dressing.
- Made for the Kits – The pad matches the Genadyne foam kits by design – components seat the way they should.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the port pad film disc?
The film disc measures 10 x 13 cm, with a port dome 5 cm in diameter at its center. The disc spreads the attachment across the drape for a secure hold.
How long is the hose?
The hose runs 70 cm from the pad to its luer end. That length lets the patient move and reposition while the pump stays in place.
Can the line be disconnected without removing the dressing?
Yes, the luer lock at the pad is detachable, so the line separates while the dressing and its seal stay in place. That supports mobility and easier dressing checks.
Which systems and dressings does it fit?
The pad is made for the Genadyne XLR8 NPWT system and pairs with the Genadyne foam dressing kits. Its film base attaches over the kit drape as part of the dressing application.
How many port pads come in a package?
The port pad is sold individually, one per package. Stock one for each dressing application the program runs.
