Description
The MediPlus SuperFoam Ag Silver Foam Dressings build antibacterial silver into a tri layer polyurethane foam that drinks in exudate and holds it away from the wound. The format serves ulcers, pressure sores, donor sites, and surgical wounds that need absorbency and silver working in one pad.
- Silver Antibacterial Action – silver in the foam works against bacteria in the wound fluid the pad absorbs
- Tri Layer Foam Build – three polyurethane layers manage absorption, retention, and a protective outer surface
- Broad Indication Range – the line addresses arterial, diabetic, and venous ulcers, pressure sores, donor sites, and burns
- Three Sizes – 4 by 4, 6 by 6, and 8 by 8 inch pads cover small wounds through large surface areas
Silver Foam Dressing Care for Exuding Wounds
Exuding wounds with bacterial burden ask a dressing to do two jobs at once, and this tri layer foam was built for exactly that pairing. The polyurethane foam absorbs wound drainage into its structure, where the silver content acts on bacteria carried in with the fluid. A moist wound surface is maintained under the pad, supporting the conditions tissue needs to close. The manufacturer’s indication set spans arterial, diabetic, and venous ulcers, pressure sores, donor sites, surgical incisions and excisions, and first and second degree burns. Three sizes step from a 4 inch square for focal wounds to an 8 inch square for broad areas. Box counts step down as size rises, from ten per box at 4 inches to three per box at 8 inches.
Features and Benefits
Absorption System
- Tri Layer Construction – three foam layers split the work of uptake, storage, and surface protection
- Exudate Retention – absorbed fluid stays in the pad instead of leaking back onto periwound skin
- Moisture Balance – the foam holds a moist interface that supports healing under the care plan
Silver Function
- Antibacterial Silver – silver content acts on bacteria within absorbed exudate across the pad
- Odor Conscious Care – acting on bacteria in the fluid also addresses a common source of wound odor
- Same Pad, Two Jobs – teams avoid layering a separate silver product under an absorbent one

Why Wound Teams Choose the SuperFoam Ag
Layering separate silver and foam products complicates changes and doubles the chance of a step being skipped. This pad folds both functions into one tri layer format with sizes that reach real wound dimensions. It is the flagship absorbent of the MediPlus wound care line.
- One Pad Does Both Jobs – absorbency and antibacterial silver arrive together at every change
- Sizes That Match Wounds – the 8 inch format covers broad ulcers that small pads tile over awkwardly
- Fewer Products to Stock – one family covers the silver foam slot on the wound cart
- Indication Breadth – ulcers, pressure sores, donor sites, and burns all sit inside the labeled set
Frequently Asked Questions
Which wounds is this dressing indicated for?
The manufacturer lists arterial, diabetic, and venous ulcers, pressure sores, donor sites, surgical incisions and excisions, and first and second degree burns. The treating clinician confirms the fit for each wound.
How does the silver work in a foam?
The silver is built into the foam structure and acts on bacteria in the exudate the pad absorbs. That keeps the antibacterial action where the drainage actually collects.
What sizes and box counts are offered?
The 4 x 4 inch size packs 10 per box, the 6 x 6 inch packs 5 per box, and the 8 x 8 inch packs 3 per box. Pick the size from the options on this page.
Does it need a secondary dressing?
The pad is the absorbent primary dressing and is secured or covered as the care plan directs. Many teams pair it with a simple retention layer or border format.
Is this the bordered version?
No, this is the non bordered SuperFoam Ag tri layer pad. Bordered silver foam in this line is a separate MediPlus format.
