Optifoam Gentle Sacral Silicone Bordered Foam Dressing - Waterproof Superabsorbent Wound Care

Premium Silicone Foam Dressing for Optimal Sacral Wound Healing

The Optifoam Gentle Sacral Silicone Bordered Foam Dressing represents a breakthrough in advanced wound care technology, specifically engineered to create an optimal healing environment for both partial and full-thickness sacral wounds. This premium medical-grade foam dressing combines superior fluid management with gentle, skin-friendly adhesion to accelerate healing while maximizing patient comfort and dignity.

Advanced Healing Technology

Designed with a highly conformable silicone border, this specialized sacral dressing provides secure yet gentle adhesion that protects fragile periwound skin. The innovative superabsorbent foam core actively absorbs and locks in wound exudate, maintaining an ideal moisture balance that promotes faster tissue regeneration. The waterproof backing creates a protective barrier against external contaminants and moisture while allowing the wound to breathe, reducing the risk of maceration and infection.

Key Clinical Benefits:

• Superabsorbent Foam Core: Advanced multi-layer foam technology absorbs and retains high volumes of wound drainage while maintaining structural integrity, even under pressure
• Gentle Silicone Border: Soft, flexible silicone adhesive ensures trauma-free removal without damaging newly formed tissue or causing pain during dressing changes
• Waterproof Protection: Impermeable outer layer shields the wound from external moisture, bacteria, and contaminants while patients shower or bathe
• Shear and Friction Reduction: Cushioning foam layer helps prevent pressure-related tissue damage on the vulnerable sacral area, particularly important for bedridden or mobility-limited patients
• Repositionable Design: The silicone border can be lifted and reapplied during application without losing adhesive properties, ensuring proper placement every time
• Latex-Free Construction: Safe for patients with latex sensitivities or allergies, manufactured without natural rubber latex
• Extended Wear Time: Can remain in place for up to seven days depending on exudate levels, reducing dressing change frequency and associated costs

Anatomically Contoured Design

The sacral-specific shape is anatomically engineered to conform perfectly to the natural contours of the gluteal region, ensuring complete wound coverage and secure adhesion even during patient movement. This specialized geometry minimizes gaps and wrinkles that could compromise the seal or cause discomfort.

Application Instructions:

1. Position the patient comfortably on their side to expose the sacral area
2. Cleanse and dry the wound and surrounding skin according to facility protocol
3. Remove the center release liner from the dressing
4. Fold the dressing in half and anchor it securely in the gluteal fold
5. Remove the release liner from the upper portion of the dressing and smooth upward, away from the bed surface
6. Repeat the smoothing process on the opposite side, ensuring complete adhesion
7. Gently press the silicone border to secure the dressing to intact periwound skin

Dressing Change Protocol:

Monitor the dressing regularly for signs of saturation. Change the dressing when drainage becomes visible around the margins of the foam pad, or after a maximum of seven days, whichever occurs first. The transparent border allows for easy visual assessment without disturbing the dressing.

Clinical Indications:

Ideal for managing moderate to heavily exuding sacral wounds including pressure ulcers (stages 2-4), surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and skin tears. The advanced foam technology maintains a moist wound environment that supports autolytic debridement and granulation tissue formation.

Important Safety Information:

Contraindication: Not suitable for third-degree burns or patients with known sensitivity to dressing components. Single use only - do not resterilize or reuse. Dispose of according to facility biohazard protocols.

Quality Assurance:

Manufactured to the highest medical device standards, each dressing is individually packaged in a sterile barrier to ensure product integrity until point of use. FSA and HSA eligible for convenient reimbursement.
