Medline MSC9604EP - DRESSING, OPTIFOAM ADHESIVE AG, 4"X 4", 10/BX

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.
