Optifoam Gentle Silicone and Antibacterial Silver Foam Dressings, 10 EA/BX

Optifoam gentle silicone and antibacterial silver foam dressings are foam wound dressings with adhesive backing for placement across all over body application areas. They fit facilities and clinicians managing pressure injuries, partial and full-thickness wounds, lower extremity ulcers, donor sites, and trauma wounds where gentle adhesion and easy placement matter. The foam construction pairs with a low friction and shear outer layer, and dressing changes should be guided by drainage checks.
