Optifoam Sacrum Adhesive Foam Dressing - Sterile Waterproof Wound Care for Moderate to Heavy Exudate

Premium Sacral Wound Care Solution for Advanced Healing

The Optifoam Sacrum Adhesive Foam Dressing represents a breakthrough in advanced wound care technology, specifically engineered to address the unique anatomical challenges of the sacral region. This premium, sterile, highly absorbent foam dressing delivers superior performance for moderate to heavily draining wounds, significantly reducing the frequency of dressing changes while maintaining an optimal moist wound healing environment that promotes faster recovery and enhanced patient comfort.

Clinical Performance & Advanced Design

Designed with a sophisticated multi-layer construction, this dressing features a highly absorbent foam core that efficiently manages wound exudate, preventing maceration of periwound skin while maintaining the ideal moisture balance necessary for cellular regeneration. The waterproof outer layer serves as a critical barrier against external contaminants and bacteria, effectively preventing strike-through and resisting roll-up even during extended wear periods of up to 7 days, depending on wound drainage levels and clinical assessment.

The low-profile, flexible design ensures exceptional conformability to the contours of the sacral area, providing secure adhesion and reliable protection even during patient movement and daily activities. This anatomically-shaped dressing stays in place, reducing the risk of displacement and ensuring uninterrupted healing for both ambulatory and bedridden patients.

Key Clinical Features & Benefits

• Highly Absorbent Foam Core Technology: Advanced foam matrix efficiently manages wound exudate to maintain a clean, moist healing environment, reducing dressing change frequency and minimizing disruption to the wound bed
• Waterproof Outer Barrier Layer: Protects against external contaminants, bacteria, and fluids while preventing strike-through and resisting roll-up for extended, reliable wear time
• Premium Silicone Adhesive Border: Provides secure yet gentle adhesion that allows for repositioning during application and ensures painless, trauma-free removal without damaging fragile periwound skin or causing patient discomfort
• Anatomically Contoured & Low-Profile Design: Flexible construction conforms seamlessly to the sacral area for maximum patient comfort, reduced pressure points, and minimized risk of dressing displacement during movement
• Extended Wear Time: Can remain in place for up to 7 days depending on wound drainage volume and clinical evaluation, reducing nursing time and healthcare costs while improving patient quality of life
• Versatile Application: Can be used as either a primary or secondary dressing, simplifying wound management protocols and providing flexibility in treatment approaches
• Latex-Free Construction: Not made with natural rubber latex, making it safe for patients and healthcare providers with latex sensitivities or allergies

Clinical Indications

Ideal for moderate to heavily draining partial-thickness and shallow full-thickness wounds in the sacral region, including pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, skin tears, and traumatic wounds requiring advanced moisture management and bacterial barrier protection.

Contraindications

Not recommended for third-degree burns or lesions with active vasculitis. For these conditions, more frequent dressing changes are recommended under clinical supervision.

Application Instructions

1. Cleanse and prepare the wound site according to facility protocol
2. Remove dressing from sterile package and remove first carrier sheet
3. Position dressing over the wound, ensuring adequate coverage of wound bed and surrounding intact skin (minimum 1-inch border)
4. Smooth dressing gently over wound and periwound skin to ensure complete contact and adhesion
5. Remove window release paper to complete application
6. Monitor wound progress and change dressing as clinically indicated or when saturation occurs
