Optifoam Ag Non-Adhesive Foam Dressing - Antimicrobial Silver Wound Care

Advanced Antimicrobial Foam Dressing for Optimal Wound Healing

Optifoam Ag Non-Adhesive Foam Dressing delivers exceptional fluid management capabilities and clinical versatility across a comprehensive range of wound presentations. Engineered to establish and maintain an optimal moist wound healing environment, this advanced dressing system incorporates a sophisticated multi-layer construction designed to address the complex needs of acute and chronic wounds while providing reliable antimicrobial protection.

Superior Moisture Management Technology

The dressing features an innovative waterproof outer barrier layer that effectively shields the wound bed from external contaminants, bacteria, and environmental pathogens while simultaneously preventing strike-through and maintaining the integrity of the healing environment. The intelligent moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) dynamically adjusts in direct response to wound exudate levels, automatically modulating between enhanced absorption during high-drainage phases and optimal breathability during lower-exudate periods. This adaptive moisture balance prevents both maceration from excessive moisture and desiccation from inadequate hydration, creating ideal conditions for cellular proliferation and tissue regeneration.

Antimicrobial Silver Protection

Each dressing is formulated with approximately 0.13% by weight of pharmaceutical-grade silver chloride, providing sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against common wound pathogens including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The non-staining silver formulation helps manage bacterial burden and colonization without causing tissue discoloration or interfering with wound assessment, while maintaining biocompatibility with healthy tissue and supporting natural healing processes.

Clinical Features & Benefits

• Latex-free formulation ensures safe application for patients with latex sensitivities and allergies, reducing risk of adverse reactions
• Highly absorbent foam matrix with superior fluid handling capacity manages moderate to heavy exudate levels effectively
• Exceptional conformability allows the dressing to adapt to challenging anatomical contours and body surfaces, maintaining consistent contact with irregular wound beds
• Dynamic MVTR technology automatically adjusts vapor transmission based on exudate volume, optimizing moisture balance throughout the wear time
• Broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection from non-staining ionic silver helps reduce bacterial colonization and supports infection prevention protocols
• Customizable sizing - can be easily cut to precise dimensions for tailored wound coverage without compromising dressing integrity or performance
• Extended wear time up to 7 days reduces dressing change frequency, minimizing wound bed disruption and improving patient comfort
• Educational Packaging (EP) provides clear application guidance and best-practice instructions for safe, effective use
• Compatible with compression therapy - suitable for use under compression bandages and wraps for venous ulcer management

Clinical Indications

Optifoam Ag Non-Adhesive Foam Dressing is indicated for comprehensive wound management across multiple clinical scenarios:

• Pressure injuries (stages I-IV) and pressure ulcers
• Partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds with moderate to heavy drainage
• Surgical incisions, post-operative wounds, and dehisced surgical sites
• Wounds exhibiting bacterial colonization or at risk for infection
• Venous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers and neuropathic wounds
• Skin graft donor sites requiring antimicrobial protection
• Traumatic lacerations and abrasions
• Skin tears in fragile or elderly skin
• First and second-degree burns and thermal injuries
• Wounds requiring antimicrobial barrier protection

Contraindications

• Third-degree burns or full-thickness thermal injuries
• Lesions associated with active vasculitis or inflammatory vascular conditions
• Patients with documented hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to silver or silver compounds
• Do not use on individuals with known silver sensitivity

Application Instructions

1. Preparation: Cleanse the wound bed according to facility protocol or physician orders. Pat surrounding skin dry. Remove the non-adhesive foam dressing from its sterile protective package using aseptic technique.
2. Placement: Position the dressing with the manufacturer's logo side facing outward, away from the wound surface. Ensure complete coverage of the entire wound bed plus a minimum 1-2 cm margin of intact periwound skin to create an effective seal and prevent edge roll.
3. Securement: Secure the non-adhesive dressing in place using hypoallergenic medical tape, transparent film dressing, or appropriate secondary retention dressing such as elastic tubular net, conforming gauze wrap, or cohesive bandage.
4. Change Frequency: Monitor the dressing regularly and replace when exudate becomes visible approaching the edges of the foam pad, or when strike-through is observed. Under normal conditions, Optifoam Ag Non-Adhesive may remain in place for up to 7 days depending on wound exudate volume and clinical assessment. Change more frequently if clinically indicated.

Important: This product is intended for single use only. Do not re-sterilize or reuse. Dispose of used dressings according to facility biohazard waste protocols.

Why Choose Optifoam Ag Non-Adhesive?

Healthcare professionals trust this advanced foam dressing system for its proven clinical performance, ease of application, and patient comfort. The non-adhesive design is particularly beneficial for fragile skin, frequent dressing changes, or when adhesive-related trauma is a concern. The combination of superior absorbency, antimicrobial protection, and adaptive moisture management makes this an ideal choice for complex wound care across acute care, long-term care, and home health settings.
