Post Op Flexible Foam Wound Dressing with Absorbent Core from Medline

Medline's Post-Op Flexible Foam Wound Dressing is a sophisticated wound care option specifically created for post-operative patients. This dressing can be used as both a primary and secondary dressing, offering thorough protection and assistance for the healing process of wounds. The highly absorbent core is designed to trap exudate, keeping the wound moist for effective healing and preventing the skin around it from becoming macerated.

Created prioritizing patient comfort, the dressing includes a thin, pliable border that is waterproof, flexible, and breathable. This guarantees that the dressing stays firmly in position while still permitting the passage of air and moisture vapor, which is essential for preserving skin health and avoiding maceration. The silicone-coated foam and surrounding area help with gentle extraction, lessening pain and decreasing damage to the wound and skin around it.

The island dressing's fenestrated design improves patient mobility as it stretches and molds to body movements. This attribute is especially advantageous for active patients or those who need to move often, as it decreases the chances of the dressing getting displaced or causing any discomfort. Additionally, the dressing's Smart Stretch Technology allows for a customizable fit that moves with the patient, offering maximum comfort and protection.

The Post-Op Flexible Foam Wound Dressing is notable for its ability to be worn for up to seven days. This greatly decreases how often dressings need to be changed, which helps heal wounds without interruption and lowers infection risk. Extended wear time also improves patient convenience and compliance by reducing the requirement for frequent clinical visits or self-dressing changes.
