Yes, the ComfortFoam Border Silicone Foam Dressing is offered in specialized anatomical shapes designed for secure and optimal coverage on difficult-to-dress areas.

These configurations utilize the soft silicone adhesive and low-profile border to ensure gentle, effective adherence even on curved body contours.

• Sacral: 7.2” x 7.2” and 9” x 9”

Yes, the Dermarite ComfortFoam Border Silicone Foam Dressing is specifically engineered with a low-profile border.

This design is incorporated for enhanced security and adhesion stability, providing several benefits:

• It helps prevent the edges from rolling or lifting prematurely.
• It ensures the dressing remains securely fixed to the surrounding skin.

This feature works alongside the soft silicone adhesive, which secures the dressing to the peri-wound skin without adhering to the wound bed, contributing to both secure placement and gentle, trauma-minimizing removal.

Yes, the Dermarite ComfortFoam features a strong, triple-layer design, sealed by a vapor-permeable, moisture-proof outer film.

This film serves two primary purposes:

1. Protection: It shields the wound from external contaminants and moisture, making the entire dressing showerproof.
2. Breathability: It remains vapor-permeable, allowing for optimal moisture vapor transmission to ensure the skin can breathe beneath the dressing.

No, the silicone adhesive is designed to adhere to the skin surrounding the wound but not to the wound bed itself. This minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes.

Yes, the Dermarite ComfortFoam Border is designed for versatile wound management and is available in both standard rectangular sizes and specialized anatomical shapes. This ensures effective, secure coverage for difficult-to-dress areas.

The dressing is offered in numerous configurations, including the Standard ComfortFoam Border and the Border Lite version (a lower-profile option).

Specialized Contour Shapes

To optimize fit on challenging areas, the following shapes are available:

• Heel/Elbow: A dedicated contour shape measuring 5” x 8”.
• Sacral Shapes (Foam Sacral): Available in large contours, 7.2” x 7.2” and 9” x 9”.

The Dermarite ComfortFoam Border is specifically designed to ensure gentle, low-trauma removal, prioritizing patient comfort and the integrity of the healing tissue. This beneficial feature is achieved through the use of a soft silicone contact layer:

• The silicone adhesive is self-adherent and selectively bonds only to the intact surrounding skin.
• Crucially, it does not stick to the delicate wound bed, preventing pain and mechanical trauma during dressing changes.
• The dressing also features a low profile border to enhance secure adhesion without compromising the gentle nature of the removal process.

The gentle, atraumatic removal of the ComfortFoam Border dressing is ensured by the soft silicone contact layer. This layer is expertly engineered to adhere securely only to the intact skin surrounding the wound, preventing it from sticking to the delicate wound bed itself. This unique adherence mechanism provides significant patient benefits:

• Minimizes Pain: Patients experience drastically reduced pain and discomfort when the dressing is changed.
• Protects Healing Tissue: Removal trauma is virtually eliminated, which prevents disruption of the wound bed and supports the natural healing process.
• Secure & Reliable Fit: The overall construction, including a low-profile border, reinforces the silicone adhesion, ensuring the dressing stays securely in place.

Furthermore, the dressing features a highly absorbent polyurethane foam core for effective exudate management and a vapor-permeable, moisture-proof outer film that makes the dressing showerproof.

Yes, the ComfortFoam Border Silicone Foam Dressing is specifically engineered for gentle, non-traumatic removal, which significantly enhances patient comfort and minimizes damage to the healing wound.

This key benefit is achieved through the dressing’s construction:

• It utilizes a soft silicone contact layer that acts as the adhesive.
• This silicone is formulated to adhere securely only to the intact surrounding skin (periwound skin).
• Crucially, the dressing does not adhere to the wound bed itself, preventing pain and trauma upon removal.
