McKesson Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressing - Square with Border, Sterile, Waterproof (484)

Advanced Silicone Foam Dressing for Optimal Wound Healing and Protection

The McKesson Square Sterile Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressing with Border delivers superior wound management performance through advanced multi-layer construction that maintains an optimal moist wound environment, prevents infection, and promotes accelerated healing. Engineered with a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam core, breathable waterproof outer film, and gentle perforated silicone gel adhesive border, this premium wound dressing provides comprehensive protection for acute and chronic wounds in hospitals, long-term care facilities, home healthcare settings, and outpatient wound care clinics.

Advanced Multi-Layer Construction

• Absorbent Hydrocellular Foam Core: The inner foam pad features advanced hydrocellular technology that rapidly absorbs wound exudate, locks moisture away from the wound bed, and maintains optimal fluid balance to support the natural healing process while preventing maceration of surrounding tissue
• Breathable Waterproof Outer Film: The outer layer provides a breathable moisture vapor transmission barrier that allows oxygen exchange and excess moisture evaporation while remaining completely resistant to external bacteria infiltration, liquid penetration, and contamination from bathing or showering
• Perforated Silicone Gel Adhesive Border: The extended silicone adhesive border features micro-perforations that allow moisture vapor transmission while providing secure, gentle adhesion to dry, intact peri-wound skin without causing trauma, pain, or skin stripping upon removal

Moist Wound Healing Environment

Designed to affix securely to dry, intact skin surrounding the wound site, this dressing creates and maintains an optimal moist wound environment that is clinically proven to accelerate healing, promote granulation tissue formation, support epithelialization, and reduce scarring compared to dry wound management approaches. The balanced moisture management system prevents both wound bed desiccation and excessive moisture accumulation that could compromise healing outcomes.

Superior Exudate Management

The highly absorbent hydrocellular foam core efficiently manages moderate to heavy wound exudate levels, wicking fluid away from the wound bed and distributing it throughout the foam matrix for maximum absorption capacity. The foam's vertical wicking action draws exudate upward and away from the wound surface, preventing pooling and reducing the risk of peri-wound maceration. The extended adhesive border seals the wound margins to help prevent exudate from leaking onto surrounding healthy tissue, protecting skin integrity and reducing the frequency of dressing changes.

Infection Prevention and Barrier Protection

The waterproof outer film layer creates an impermeable barrier against external bacteria, viruses, and contaminants, significantly reducing infection risks and supporting hospital infection control protocols. The sealed dressing protects wounds during bathing, showering, and daily activities, eliminating the need for secondary protective coverings. The sterile single-use format ensures aseptic wound care and prevents cross-contamination between dressing changes.

Patient Comfort and Skin-Friendly Adhesion

The perforated silicone gel adhesive technology represents a significant advancement in wound dressing design, providing secure adhesion without the trauma, pain, and skin damage associated with traditional acrylic adhesives. The soft silicone formula adheres gently to intact skin while allowing the dressing to be lifted, repositioned, and reapplied without losing its adherent properties or causing discomfort. Upon removal, the silicone adhesive releases cleanly without stripping the epidermis, pulling hair, or causing pain—particularly important for elderly patients, those with fragile skin, and individuals requiring frequent dressing changes.

Highly Conformable Design

The flexible foam construction and soft silicone border make this dressing highly conformable to fit comfortably on the body's natural contours, including challenging anatomical locations such as joints, heels, elbows, and sacral areas. The dressing moves naturally with patient activity, maintaining secure contact with the wound bed without bunching, wrinkling, or lifting at the edges. This superior conformability enhances patient comfort, improves wear time, and ensures consistent therapeutic performance throughout the dressing's lifespan.

Easy Application and Repositioning

The dressing is designed for quick, easy application by healthcare professionals and patients alike. The silicone adhesive's unique repositioning capability allows clinicians to adjust dressing placement for optimal wound coverage without wasting product or compromising adhesion. This feature is particularly valuable when treating irregularly shaped wounds or when precise positioning is critical for effective exudate management.

Clinical Applications and Wound Types

Ideal for managing a comprehensive range of acute and chronic wounds including pressure ulcers (stages II-IV), diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, skin tears, abrasions, donor sites, partial-thickness burns, and post-operative incisions. The versatile design accommodates wounds with moderate to heavy exudate levels across diverse patient populations and care settings.

Sterile Single-Use Format

Each dressing is individually packaged and sterilized to meet stringent medical device standards, ensuring optimal infection control and patient safety. The sterile format supports aseptic wound care techniques and hospital infection prevention protocols. The single-use design eliminates reprocessing requirements, reduces cross-contamination risks, and simplifies clinical workflows.

Cost-Effective Wound Management

The superior absorption capacity and extended wear time reduce the frequency of dressing changes, lowering overall wound care costs through decreased product consumption, reduced nursing time, and minimized patient discomfort. The waterproof design eliminates the need for secondary dressings or protective covers, further enhancing cost-effectiveness.
