Frequently asked questions
Is this foam dressing suitable for heavy drainage?
Yes, the Polyderm Border is specifically designed to manage moderate to heavily exudating wounds. It is constructed from a highly absorbent, lint-free polyurethane foam that effectively captures significant drainage.
Can I use this around drainage tubes or catheters?
Absolutely. The dressing features a fenestrated round shape with a 2-inch radial slit, which is specifically engineered to allow for precise placement around drainage tubes and catheters.
Is the dressing adhesive or non-adhesive?
The dressing is non-adhesive at the wound contact site to protect sensitive tissue, but it features a comfortable, stretchable fabric tape border that secures the dressing to the surrounding skin.
Does it provide cushioning for painful wounds?
Yes, the dressing is designed to be thick and soft, providing excellent cushioning and protection for sensitive or painful wounds, while helping to protect delicate granulating tissue.
Will the border irritate my skin?
The dressing is designed with a stretchable fabric tape border that is soft and conformable. It is intended for use on sensitive skin, providing secure adhesion without harshness.
Is the backing material breathable?
This specific version is manufactured without film backing. This promotes a comfortable, soft profile for the dressing, though it is intended specifically for its high absorbency and protective foam properties.

Is this dressing sterile?
