Foam Dressing, Adhesive, Optifoam, 4x4 (2.5x2.5 Pad), 10 per box

Optifoam adhesive foam dressing is a 4 x 4 wound dressing with a 2.5 x 2.5 pad. It is a practical choice for buyers who want an adhesive foam option that helps maintain a moist wound environment while staying in contact with the wound surface as it absorbs. The waterproof polyurethane backing helps prevent strike-through, and the foam pad uses micropores for low adherence to the wound surface.
