Foam dressing with silicone gel adhesive and border for the sacral area.
Material Structure & Size Specification
This MDK border foam dressing is constructed using a polyurethane foam core, a silicone gel adhesive layer, a backing film, and release paper. The size 18 cm × 18 cm makes it suitable for larger wound sites such as the sacral region. The donut‑style adhesive border ensures firm sealing around the edges, helping prevent leakage. The foam pad absorbs exudate effectively, while the silicone adhesive provides gentle but secure attachment without causing trauma during removal. As with other MDK advanced wound care products, this silicone foam dressing meets international quality standards and is packaged sterile, with multiple sheets per box. Shelf life, handling, and storage are consistent with other polyurethane foam dressing solutions offered by MDK.
Intended Use & Clinical Applications
This dressing is designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds, especially in anatomically challenging or high‑pressure areas. It is particularly used in sacral wound care where size and absorbency are critical, making it a type of sacral foam dressing. It is also applicable for surgical incisions, pressure ulcers, abrasions, and wounds requiring frequent changes. Because of its adhesive border, it is ideal where adhesive wound dressing is preferred over non‑adhesive options, minimizing slippage and ensuring secure contact even in mobile areas. MDK Medical’s users—hospitals, clinics, and medical supplies wholesalers—often select this size for larger wound coverage needs in both inpatient and outpatient environments.
Performance & Handling Guidelines
In use, the foam’s absorption capability maintains a moist healing environment, reducing the risk of maceration even under heavy exudate. The silicone adhesive border should be applied to clean, dry skin, ensuring full contact around the periphery of the wound. Change frequency depends on exudate level: heavier exudate necessitates more frequent changes. The dimensions (18×18 cm) allow sufficient coverage for large areas without overlapping multiple smaller dressings, reducing labor and improving patient comfort. This large foam border dressing balances performance, comfort, and practicality in wound care settings, offering a highly efficient solution for clinicians and caregivers alike.
Product Advantages
High Absorbency & Exudate Management
This 18×18 cm foam adhesive dressing offers strong exudate uptake, with the polyurethane foam pad efficiently absorbing fluid and retaining it under compression. The border design supports containment of exudate, helping to prevent maceration in surrounding skin. Compared to non‑border foam dressings or traditional gauze, this product reduces leakage risk and provides extended wear time. The combination of a foam core and silicone adhesive makes this a high‑performance option among foam wound dressing products for managing wounds with moderate to heavy exudate.
Secure Adhesion with Skin‑Friendly Contact
The inclusion of a silicone adhesive border ensures a secure fit on contours and high‑motion regions, such as the sacrum. The gentle silicone gel layer minimizes discomfort upon removal, making this product ideal for cases where frequent dressing changes are required or where skin integrity is compromised. Healthcare providers who rely on silicone dressing for wounds appreciate the ease of application and removal, especially when treating sensitive or elderly patients.
Large Size Coverage & Operational Efficiency
At 18×18 cm, this dressing provides comprehensive coverage for large wound surfaces in a single piece, eliminating the need for layering or combining smaller dressings. This simplifies stocking and ordering for medical supplies wholesalers and helps clinical staff apply the dressing more efficiently. For large wound areas such as sacral ulcers, this border foam dressing offers reliable protection while enhancing patient comfort. The reduced need for frequent changes and the dressing’s durability contribute to cost‑effectiveness and improved workflow in busy care settings.
