Optifoam Gentle EX Sacrum Foam Dressing, 7" x 7"
Optifoam Gentle EX Sacrum Foam Dressing, 7" x 7"
The Optifoam Gentle EX Sacrum Foam Dressing (7" x 7") is designed specifically for the sacral area, giving clinicians a dressing that fits securely over the lower spine and tailbone without constant repositioning. The contoured shape helps it sit comfortably between the gluteal folds, while the silicone contact layer protects vulnerable skin during changes. Its foam core absorbs drainage and helps support a stable healing environment, making it a strong choice for wound-care teams across U.S. hospitals, rehab centers, and long-term care facilities.
This size is commonly used for early-stage pressure injuries, post-surgical sites near the sacrum, and wounds that need consistent protection on a high-pressure area. The bordered design helps the dressing stay anchored even with patient movement or repositioning. Clinicians value the combination of fit, comfort, and dependable absorption in a spot where dressing adherence is often challenging.

How does the foam handle moisture in a high-pressure area like the sacrum?
The foam absorbs drainage evenly and helps keep moisture away from the surface of the wound. This reduces maceration risk and supports more consistent healing in a location that naturally sees more friction and pressure.
