Optifoam Gentle EX Silicone-Faced Border Foam Dressing - Sterile Wound Care with 5-Layer Superabsorbent Technology

Advanced Wound Care Technology for Superior Healing

Experience the next generation of wound care with this premium sterile silicone-faced foam dressing, engineered with 5 advanced layers and a revolutionary superabsorbent core. This highly conformable foam dressing represents a breakthrough in wound management, combining gentle silicone adhesive technology with exceptional fluid handling capabilities to promote optimal healing conditions.

Revolutionary 5-Layer Construction

The innovative multi-layer design features a superabsorbent core that actively absorbs wound exudate, converts it into a stable gel matrix, and securely locks it away from the wound bed. This advanced absorption mechanism not only manages high levels of drainage but also creates an ideal moist wound healing environment while simultaneously protecting the surrounding healthy skin from maceration and breakdown.

Gentle Yet Secure Adhesion

The soft silicone adhesive border provides secure, atraumatic placement that can be lifted and repositioned as needed without causing pain or trauma to the wound bed or surrounding skin. This gentle adhesive technology makes dressing changes comfortable for patients while maintaining reliable adhesion throughout the wear time, reducing the anxiety often associated with dressing removal.

Key Clinical Benefits

• Superior Conformability: Highly flexible foam construction molds closely to wound contours and body surfaces, ensuring intimate contact with the wound bed for optimal exudate management
• Low-Profile Design: Discreet, thin profile with absorbent core provides exceptional comfort and flexibility under clothing while maintaining powerful fluid-locking capacity
• Advanced Exudate Management: Five-layer superabsorbent technology absorbs, converts to gel, and locks away wound drainage, preventing leakage and reducing dressing change frequency
• Atraumatic Removal: Silicone-faced foam and border enable gentle, pain-free removal that protects fragile wound tissue and newly formed epithelium
• Skin Protection: Superabsorbent core retains fluid away from wound edges, protecting peri-wound skin from moisture-associated damage and irritation
• Waterproof Barrier: Protective backing shields the wound from external contaminants, bacteria, and fluids while allowing the patient to shower with confidence
• Latex-Free Formula: Safe for patients with latex sensitivities and allergies, reducing the risk of allergic reactions
• Sterile and Ready: Individually packaged sterile dressings ready for immediate clinical use

Clinical Indications

Ideal for managing partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds with light to heavy drainage, including pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, donor sites, and skin tears.

Important Contraindications

• Not suitable for third-degree burns
• Do not use on patients with known silicone allergies

Application Instructions

1. Cleanse wound according to facility protocol and pat surrounding skin dry
2. Remove dressing from sterile package

6. Gently smooth and secure the dressing borders to the surrounding skin

Dressing Change Protocol

Change dressing when drainage reaches the edges of the foam pad or according to clinical assessment. The dressing may remain in place for up to 7 days depending on exudate levels and wound condition. Regular monitoring is recommended.

Important Usage Notes

• Do not cut or modify the dressing as this may compromise the waterproof seal
• Single use only - do not reuse or resterilize
• Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

Available Sizes
