Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing handle high amounts of exudate?
Yes, it features an advanced absorbent core specifically engineered for high-efficiency exudate management. The horizontal and vertical wicking layers ensure exudate is distributed across the entire surface area, allowing it to remain effective even under compression.
Is the adhesive gentle on sensitive skin?
Absolutely. It utilizes a soft silicone adhesive designed to provide secure fixation while allowing for gentle, non-traumatic removal. This is specifically chosen to protect peri-wound skin from irritation during dressing changes.
Can this dressing protect against bacteria and moisture?
Yes, the dressing includes an integrated outer film backing that functions as a water-resistant bacterial barrier. It is designed to keep external contaminants out while maintaining an ideal moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) to support a healthy healing environment.
Will this dressing reduce friction on healing skin?
Yes, the product is engineered to minimize skin damage. The smooth outer film layer and a unique multi-layer construction—where the inner layers move independently—help to absorb mechanical forces, effectively reducing shear and friction on the wound site.
Is this suitable for use under compression therapy?
Yes, it is highly compatible with standard compression protocols. The absorbent core is designed to lock in exudate and bacteria, ensuring the dressing performs consistently even when pressure is applied.
How are the dressings packaged?
Each unit is provided as 10 sterile foam dressings per package. Each dressing is individually pouched to maintain sterility and ensure clinical hygiene until the moment of use.
What is the actual coverage area of the pad?
While the total dressing dimension is 7 x 8 inches, it features a generous 6 x 7 inch absorbent pad area, providing significant coverage for effective wound management.
Are these dressings sterile?
Yes, all KerraFoam Gentle Border dressings are factory-sterile and designed for professional medical wound care environments, meeting clinical standards for patient safety.
Does the dressing hold its shape well?
The dressing is specifically crafted in an ergonomic oval shape, which helps it conform better to various anatomical sites and reduces the risk of edge lifting, ensuring a secure and reliable fit.
What materials are used for the backing?
The dressing features a high-quality film backing. This material is selected specifically for its dual role as a protective shield against moisture and bacteria, and as a low-friction surface to protect the skin from shear.
