Optifoam Gentle EX Bordered Foam Dressing, 6" x 6"
Optifoam Gentle EX Bordered Foam Dressing, 6" x 6"
The Optifoam Gentle EX Bordered Foam Dressing in the 6" x 6" size provides broad coverage for moderate-draining wounds that need extra protection and stability. The thicker foam core manages moisture effectively while helping maintain a consistent healing environment, and the silicone contact layer reduces skin stress during changes. This size is commonly used across U.S. wound-care clinics, hospitals, and long-term care facilities for wounds that benefit from a larger surface area and secure hold.
The wider border helps the dressing stay in place on the lower back, thigh, abdomen, or any area where smaller dressings tend to shift. It’s gentle enough for fragile skin yet durable enough for multi-day wear. Clinicians rely on this size when they need a balance of strong absorption, patient comfort, and reliable adhesion across a larger wound field.
