Frequently asked questions
Is this foam dressing sterile?
Yes, the Proximel Basic Non-Border Foam Dressing is provided in sterile packaging.
This crucial feature ensures a clean and safe application, which is essential for minimizing the risk of infection during wound care.
Is this foam dressing gentle for sensitive skin?
Yes, the Hartmann Proximel Basic Non-Border Foam Dressing is specifically designed for use with sensitive skin and fragile wounds due to its non-adhesive nature.
This design ensures superior gentleness and minimizes patient trauma by offering the following benefits:
- Non-Adhesive: The complete absence of an integrated adhesive border prevents skin stripping, reduces pain upon removal, and minimizes the risk of periwound irritation.
- Customizable Fixation: As a non-border dressing, it allows medical professionals to select the least traumatic secondary fixation method (like retention tape or wrap) tailored specifically to the patient’s skin condition and comfort needs.
- Sterile Condition: All configurations are supplied sterile, ensuring safe application in wound care.
This foam dressing is available in four distinct sizes to accommodate varied wound care needs: 2” x 2”, 3.2” x 3.2”, 6” x 6”, and 8” x 8”.
Are multiple sizes available for wound coverage?
Yes, the Proximel Basic Non-Border Foam Dressing is offered in multiple square configurations to ensure comprehensive wound coverage for various wound dimensions. The available sizes are:
- 2” x 2”
- 3.2” x 3.2”
- 6” x 6”
- 8” x 8”
Does the non-adhesive design ensure gentle removal?
The non-adhesive design of the Proximel Basic Foam Dressing is specifically intended to ensure gentle and atraumatic removal.
Since the dressing does not stick to the wound bed or surrounding skin, this feature provides significant benefits during dressing changes:
- Minimizes pain and discomfort for the patient.
- Reduces the risk of trauma to the delicate wound surface and periwound skin.
Important Usage Note: Because this is a non-adhesive, non-border dressing, you will need to use a secondary fixation method (such as medical tape, cohesive wrap, or an overlay dressing) to properly secure it over the wound site.
Is this non-adhesive dressing gentle on wounds?
Yes, the Hartmann USA Proximel Basic is a sterile, non-adhesive, non-border foam dressing specifically designed to support gentle wound management.
Its key features provide significant benefits for sensitive skin and delicate wound beds:
- Minimized Trauma: The non-adhesive surface prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound bed, which helps to significantly reduce pain and potential tissue damage during dressing changes.
- Protects Periwound Skin: By eliminating integrated adhesives, the risk of irritation or damage (skin stripping) to the fragile skin surrounding the wound is removed.
- Flexible Fixation: The non-border design allows for versatility, enabling clinicians to select the most appropriate secondary fixation method (such as medical tape or wraps) based on the wound location and patient needs.
Is the Proximel Basic dressing non-adhesive?
Yes, the Proximel Basic Non-Border Foam Dressing is specifically designed to be non-adhesive. This feature is beneficial for sensitive wounds and helps ensure gentle removal.
Key features of this sterile foam dressing include:
- Gentle on Skin: The non-adhesive property minimizes trauma to the wound bed and surrounding tissue during changes.
- Exudate Management: The foam material effectively absorbs and manages wound exudate.
- Sterile Configuration: All available sizes are supplied sterile for clinical use.
Important Note: Because this is a non-adhesive, non-border design, it must be secured using a secondary fixation method, such as medical tape or a retention bandage.
Is the Proximel Basic dressing non-adhesive?
Yes, the Hartmann Proximel Basic is a non-adhesive, non-border foam dressing.
This specific design offers several advantages for wound management:
- Gentle Removal: The non-adhesive property ensures the dressing can be removed easily and gently, minimizing trauma to the wound bed and surrounding skin.
- Sterile: All available sizes—including 2”x2”, 3.2”x3.2”, 6”x6”, and 8”x8”—are supplied sterile, meeting medical application requirements.
- Exudate Absorption: The foam technology effectively manages wound exudate.

Is this Proximel dressing a non-border type?
Yes, this product is the Hartmann USA Proximel Basic Non-Border Foam Dressing. This configuration provides flexibility for wound management:
- Non-Adhesive: The dressing material itself is non-adhesive, which is key for ensuring gentle removal, minimizing trauma to the wound bed, and preserving newly formed tissue.
- Non-Border Design: Because it is non-border and non-adhesive, it requires a secondary method of fixation (such as medical tape or a wrap) to hold it in place. This allows you to choose the most suitable retention material based on the patient’s skin and wound location.
It is also supplied in a sterile condition, making it appropriate for clinical wound care applications.
