McKesson Foam Dressing is a foam dressing.
INTENDED USES: McKesson silicone adhesive foam dressings are indicated for the management of exuding wounds, such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, traumatic and surgical wounds, as well as superficial and partial-thickness burns. The dressing absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound-healing environment while minimizing the risk of maceration. It may be applied and changed by clinicians or patients.
CLAIMED BENEFITS: Perforated silicone gel adhesive provides gentle but firm adhesion. Conformable and remains intact on skin. Soft silicone minimizes pain to patients and trauma to wounds upon removal. Affixes securely to dry, intact skin; seals the wound margins to help prevent exudate from leaking on surrounding tissue, minimizing risk of maceration. Breathable, moisture and bacteria resistant outer film layer. Absorbent inner hydrocellular foam pad maintains a moist wound environment to help promote healing. Dressing may be lifted and repositioned without losing its adherent properties. Wear time up to 7 days or as directed by a healthcare professional. Not made with natural rubber latex.
