The Gentell Bordered Foam Dressing is a highly absorbent, waterproof wound dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily draining wounds while protecting against external contaminants. Constructed with a dense foam core and a gentle, nonabrasive border, it provides superior absorption and cushioning, promoting a moist healing environment and minimizing the risk of maceration. The island-style design ensures comfort, protection, and easy application, making it suitable for use as either a primary or secondary dressing on acute or chronic wounds.
Features & Benefits
- Exceptional Absorption: Absorbs up to 20 times its weight in wound exudate without strikethrough, maintaining a clean, dry wound surface.
- Waterproof & Bacterial Barrier: The water-resistant border helps protect the wound from external contaminants and provides incontinence protection.
- Promotes Healing Environment: Maintains optimal moisture balance to support faster wound healing while minimizing skin maceration.
- Comfortable & Secure Fit: The soft, nonabrasive border ensures secure placement without irritation, even on sensitive or newly healed skin.
- Pressure Relief & Protection: Offers gentle cushioning and protection for fragile or recently healed areas, reducing the risk of re-injury.
- Versatile Application: Can be used as a primary dressing over the wound or as a secondary cover dressing for additional protection.
