Ultra Foam Dressing 4×4 (25 ct.)

Foam Wound Dressings are absorbent, non-adherent padded wound dressings that absorb wound exudate while effectively providing protection from pressure and friction. 

Our Numed Foam wound dressing pads are among the most commonly used dressings in wound care and are frequently used to protect heels, elbows, amputation sites and the sacrum (tail bone area). 

Foam dressings are an excellent choice for the management of moist wounds and are particularly effective at minimizing discomfort and pain by providing padding to the wound and preventing dressing related trauma. 

What is a Foam Dressing?

Foam dressings are absorbent, non-adherent padded wound dressings that absorb moisture and provide a barrier from environmental contaminants while protecting intact skin from damage related to pressure and friction.

Foam dressings are made up of fibers with small open cells that form an absorbent, sponge-like material. These open cells draw up drainage and debris from the wound bed, promoting a moist healing environment for natural healing.

Foam dressings are non-adherent and provide thermal insulation while acting as a protective cushion over the healing wound bed. These dressings allow water vapor across the surface of the wound, but block fluids, bacteria, and other contaminants from entering.
