The Optifoam Gentle EX Bordered Foam Dressing in the 5" x 5" size is designed for situations where clinicians need broader coverage and dependable absorption for moderate-draining wounds. Its soft foam core helps manage exudate without breaking down, while the silicone contact layer protects the surrounding skin during dressing changes. This size is commonly used in hospitals, outpatient wound centers, and long-term care facilities across the U.S. for wounds that need more room to breathe and stay protected.

Because the dressing contours well and has a secure silicone border, it works nicely on areas where dressings tend to shift—such as the flank, thigh, hip, and upper back. Buyers appreciate that it’s gentle on fragile skin yet durable enough for multi-day wear. Whether you’re managing post-surgical wounds, larger skin tears, or pressure injuries, this 5" x 5" format gives you a reliable balance of coverage, comfort, and moisture control.

What kinds of wounds typically require a 5" x 5" bordered foam dressing?

This size is often chosen for moderate-sized wounds that produce light to moderate drainage—things like post-operative incisions, larger skin tears, partial-thickness pressure injuries, or wounds that need extra protective padding.

Will the dressing stay in place on curved or high-movement areas?

In most cases, yes. The silicone border is designed to grip gently without irritating the skin, and the larger footprint gives it better stability on curved surfaces like the hip, thigh, or shoulder blade.

How long does a 5" x 5" Optifoam Gentle EX dressing typically last?

Many clinicians see a 3–5 day wear time if the wound has moderate or predictable drainage. If the foam becomes saturated or the edges lift, it should be changed sooner.

 Is this size appropriate for patients with fragile or aging skin?

Yes — the silicone contact layer is gentle and removes cleanly, which makes it a good option for geriatric patients or anyone with sensitive, at-risk skin. The wide border also helps distribute tension so it doesn’t pull at the skin.
