Silicone-Faced Foam Wound Dressings for Heels from Medline

The Silicone-Faced Foam Wound Dressings for Heels from Medline is a silicone foam dressing that is engineered for optimal pressure injury prevention, incorporating multiple layers to address various wound care needs. The silicone layer is designed to minimize trauma and reduce discomfort during application and removal. This feature is particularly useful for patients with sensitive skin, as the dressing can be easily peeled back and re-stuck when checking the skin or wound, ensuring continuous protection without causing additional pain.

The transfer layer efficiently absorbs exudate into the superabsorbent core. This absorption mechanism helps to keep the wound environment dry and reduces the risk of maceration, a common issue in wound care. The super absorbent layer is specifically designed to retain exudate, ensuring that fluids are locked away from the wound site, further promoting a healthy healing environment.

Additionally, the dressing includes a highly breathable film that serves as a waterproof barrier. This film prevents external contaminants such as germs and dirt from entering the wound area, providing an added layer of protection. The combination of these features makes this silicone foam dressing an excellent choice for patients and healthcare providers aiming to prevent and manage pressure injuries effectively. Its ease of use, comfort, and protective capabilities contribute to better patient outcomes and enhanced wound care.
