Every wound deserves gentle care. That’s why we put our clinical expertise to use and created Optifoam Gentle Dressings. Technologically advanced and a class apart from drugstore bandages, Medline Optifoam Gentle Dressings are true hospital-quality products designed for use in challenging wound care situations.
Featuring a specially-formulated silicone adhesive that holds tight yet allows for repositioning, Optifoam Gentle Dressings allow for wound healing progress checks. And, they remove easily, helping to minimize discomfort and trauma to the surrounding skin (periwound).
- Superabsorbent core absorbs and retains fluid
- Foam dressing helps reduce friction and shear
- Silicone adhesive helps reduce the discomfort of dressing removal
- Waterproof outer layer helps protect the wound
A closer look at Optifoam Gentle Silicone Faced and Bordered Foam Dressing with Liquitrap Core.
This premium dressing with a 5-layer pad is our most absorbent Optifoam Gentle Dressing. Its superabsorbent Liquitrap core draws in large amounts of exudate, converts it into a gel, and locks it away. Silicone facing on both the foam pad and surrounding border allow for gentle application and removal. Choose from square and sacral shapes.
