Product Description
Medline MSC9604 - DRESSING, OPTIFOAM ADHESIVE AG, 4"X 4", 100/CS
Optifoam Antimicrobial Adhesive Dressings
Targeted Antimicrobial Protection and Optimal Fluid Handling
Powerful Ability to Manage Wound Fluids:
A "smart" dressing
Optifoams moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) will adjust depending on the fluid level in the wound.
Antimicrobial barrier
Ionic silver provides safe continuous antimicrobial protection without skin staining or damage to healthy tissue.
Specially designed foam for low adherence
Micropores in the foam help minimize the chance of granulation tissue migrating into the foam.
High fluid handling
Absorbs a large amount of fluid when compared to other foam dressings.
Helps create ideal healing environment
High fluid-handling capacity and repeated bacteria introduction management.
Waterproof outer layer protects
Helps prevent strike-through and provides a barrier to bacteria.
Improved backing material
Thin film backing is low profile, smooth, waterproof and conformable.
