Optifoam Gentle Silicone-Faced Foam Dressing in Educational Packaging, 3" x 3", 100 EA/CS

Optifoam gentle silicone-faced foam dressing is a 3 inch x 3 inch wound dressing for managing shallow, deep, and moderate to heavy drainage wounds. It fits facilities and clinical teams that need a conformable dressing with a gentle adhesive that can be lifted and reapplied during wound checks.
