Medline Optifoam Gentle Foam Dressings with Silicone Adhesive Border

Optifoam Gentle Foam Dressings with Silicone Adhesive Border

Optifoam Gentle Foam Dressings with Silicone Adhesive Border are foam wound dressings for partial- and full-thickness wounds with drainage. They fit care settings that need a conformable dressing with gentle adhesion that can be lifted and reapplied during dressing changes. The foam construction pairs with a silicone adhesive border, a low-friction outer layer, and moisture vapor transmission that adjusts to fluid level for added breathability.
