Medline Optifoam Gentle Silicone-faced Foam Dressing - Sacrum, Sterile, Liquitrap Super Absorbent Core (7x7" & 9x9")

Advanced Multi-Layer Foam Dressing for Superior Wound Management

Medline Optifoam Gentle Silicone-faced Foam Sacrum Dressing represents the pinnacle of advanced wound care technology, engineered to deliver exceptional absorbency, superior comfort, and comprehensive protection for partial and full-thickness wounds. Designed with the innovative Liquitrap Super Absorbent Core and gentle silicone adhesive technology, this premium five-layer dressing system effectively captures and locks away wound exudate while maintaining an optimal moist healing environment that accelerates tissue repair and prevents pressure injuries.

Revolutionary Liquitrap Super Absorbent Technology

• Five-Layer Advanced Construction: Sophisticated multi-layer design features the proprietary Liquitrap superabsorbent core that rapidly absorbs excess wound exudate, transforms fluid into a stable gel matrix, and securely locks it away from the wound bed. This advanced absorption mechanism prevents fluid pooling, reduces maceration risk, and maintains consistent moisture balance throughout the entire wear period.
• High-Capacity Exudate Management: Engineered specifically for moderate to heavy drainage wounds, the superabsorbent polymer core handles significant fluid volumes while maintaining structural integrity. The high-capacity absorption extends wear time between dressing changes, reducing supply costs and minimizing wound bed disruption for improved healing outcomes.
• Intelligent Moisture Vapor Transmission: Dynamic moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) automatically adjusts to wound exudate levels, increasing breathability as drainage decreases and reducing vapor transmission when exudate is high. This intelligent moisture management system optimizes the wound microenvironment, prevents over-drying or excessive moisture, and significantly reduces maceration risk.

Gentle Silicone Adhesive Technology

• Pain-Free Removal & Repositioning: Soft, conformable silicone-faced foam border provides gentle yet secure adhesion to intact periwound skin without causing trauma, pain, or skin stripping during removal. The advanced silicone adhesive can be lifted and repositioned multiple times during initial application without losing adherence, ensuring optimal placement and reducing waste from misapplication.
• Minimized Skin Trauma: Unlike traditional adhesive dressings that can damage fragile skin, the gentle silicone technology adheres securely while protecting delicate periwound tissue. This is especially critical for elderly patients, those with fragile skin conditions, or individuals requiring frequent dressing changes where skin preservation is paramount.
• Secure Long-Term Wear: Despite its gentle nature, the silicone adhesive maintains reliable adherence for up to seven days, staying securely in place during patient movement, transfers, and daily activities. The low-profile, flexible design moves naturally with the body without edge lifting or rolling.

Anatomically Designed for Sacral Protection

• Sacrum-Specific Shape: Precision-engineered anatomical shape conforms perfectly to the sacral area, one of the most common sites for pressure injury development. The contoured design ensures complete wound coverage and optimal contact with the challenging sacral anatomy.
• Pressure Distribution Support: When used as part of a comprehensive pressure injury prevention protocol, the soft foam construction helps evenly distribute pressure across the sacral region, reducing localized pressure points that contribute to tissue breakdown and pressure ulcer formation.
• Low-Profile Comfort Design: Thin, flexible profile ensures patient comfort during extended bed rest, sitting, or repositioning. The discreet design minimizes bulk under clothing and bedding while maintaining superior absorption performance.

Comprehensive Wound Protection

• Waterproof Yet Breathable Backing: Advanced outer layer creates an impermeable barrier that shields the wound from external contaminants, bacteria, and fluids including incontinence, while simultaneously allowing moisture vapor to escape. This dual-function backing maintains wound cleanliness and promotes balanced healing.
• Sterile Single-Use Design: Each dressing arrives individually packaged and sterilized, ensuring aseptic wound coverage and preventing healthcare-associated infections. Sterile packaging maintains the highest standards of infection control for acute and chronic wound management.
• 100% Latex-Free Construction: Manufactured completely without natural rubber latex, making this dressing safe for patients and healthcare workers with latex allergies or sensitivities, eliminating allergic reaction concerns in all care environments.

Clinical Indications & Applications

Ideal for: Partial-thickness wounds, full-thickness wounds, pressure injuries (Stage II-IV), diabetic ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, donor sites, skin tears, and any wound with moderate to heavy exudate requiring advanced moisture management.

Perfect for: Acute care hospitals, wound care clinics, long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, home healthcare, hospice care, and outpatient wound centers.

Contraindications: Not suitable for third-degree burns or wounds with minimal exudate.

Application & Wear Time

Simple Application: Remove dressing from sterile package, peel away one release liner piece, position dressing over wound site, remove second release liner, and gently secure to intact periwound skin for complete adhesion.

Extended Wear Time: Dressing may remain in place for up to seven days depending on wound exudate levels and clinical assessment. Replace when drainage reaches the foam pad edges or per facility wound care protocols.

Important Notes: Do not cut the dressing as this compromises the waterproof seal and absorption capacity. Single use only - do not reuse.

Available Sizes & Packaging

Available in 7" x 7" and 9" x 9" sizes to accommodate various sacral wound dimensions. Offered in individual units, boxes, or cases to meet the needs of different care settings from home healthcare to large institutional facilities.
