The Optifoam Gentle EX Bordered Foam Dressing in the 4" x 4" size is designed for clinicians who need dependable coverage for slightly larger wounds without sacrificing comfort. The dressing features a soft, contouring foam core that absorbs drainage while helping maintain a stable healing environment. Its silicone contact layer minimizes skin trauma during dressing changes, which makes it a solid option for hospitals, wound-care clinics, long-term care facilities, and home-health teams across the U.S.

This size is often chosen for post-op incisions, moderate drainage wounds, and areas that need a bit more surface protection than a standard small dressing can provide. The border helps the dressing stay secure on curved or mobile areas, and patients appreciate that the silicone backing doesn’t stick aggressively to the skin. It’s a practical, everyday wound-care dressing that offers a good balance of absorption, comfort, and reliability.

When should I choose the 4" x 4" size instead of the smaller version?

The 4" x 4" size works well when you need wider coverage around the wound—especially for moderate drainage, post-op incisions, or wounds located on areas that move a lot, like the thigh, shoulder, or abdomen.

Does the border keep the dressing from lifting on active patients?

Yes, the silicone border helps the dressing stay seated even during light activity. It won’t hold up to heavy sweating or high-motion areas indefinitely, but for daily routines and normal movement, it stays secure.

How absorbent is this compared to non-bordered foam dressings?

Bordered foam typically manages drainage more efficiently because it seals the edges and keeps the pad in place. This helps the foam core do its job without shifting or bunching.

Can this dressing be cut to fit irregular shapes?

It’s generally best used as-is to maintain the integrity of the border. If you need a custom fit for uneven wound shapes, a non-bordered foam dressing or a larger size trimmed to shape may work better.
