Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing, 4 x 4 in, 40 Pack for Exudate Management

Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing is a self-adherent wound dressing designed to support wound care by managing exudate, with a 4 in x 4 in (10.16 cm x 10.16 cm) border and a five-layer construction.

• Absorbs 15 times as much wound exudate — helps manage fluid from moderately to highly exuding wounds.
• 4 in x 4 in (10.16 cm x 10.16 cm) dressing with a 2.5 in x 2.5 in (6.35 cm x 6.35 cm) foam pad — gives a clear size guide for choosing the dressing.
• 2 mm foam core, superabsorbent fiber (SAF) layer and nonwoven layer — absorb, lock and disperse exudate through the dressing.
• Soft, hypoallergenic, medical-grade silicone contact layer — adheres to dry skin while avoiding adhesion to a moist wound.
• Semi-permeable polyurethane (PU) film — provides a waterproof liquid barrier while allowing oxygen and water vapor to pass through.
• 40 dressings per pack — provides a set of individual dressings for wound-care use.

For wounds that produce moderate to high amounts of exudate, managing moisture while protecting the wound is an important part of dressing selection. Dimora’s layered foam dressing is designed to maintain a healthy moisture environment and create a barrier from outside liquid. Its size and stated wound uses make it suitable for a range of wound-care situations, including post-operative care and pressure-related wounds.

What wound size does the 4 x 4 dressing fit?

The 4 in x 4 in (10.16 cm x 10.16 cm) border is designed for wounds up to 2.5 in x 2.5 in (6.35 cm x 6.35 cm), the size of the foam pad. Compare the wound area with the foam pad dimensions when choosing a fit; the dressing is intended for moderately to highly exuding wounds.

Its stated uses include surgical incisions, sacral bedsore wounds, pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, neuropathic ulcers, arterial ulcers, post-operative wounds and first- to second-degree burns. These are wound-care applications, not a promise of a particular healing result.

• For wounds producing moderate to high exudate.
• Foam pad dimensions provide the wound-size reference; the outer border measures 4 in x 4 in (10.16 cm x 10.16 cm).

How does the dressing handle wound fluid?

The five layers work together to absorb and manage exudate while supporting a healthy moisture environment. The 2 mm foam core contributes absorbency, the SAF layer locks in exudate to help avoid maceration, and the nonwoven layer disperses fluid. The dressing absorbs 15 times as much wound exudate, as claimed for this product.

A semi-permeable PU film forms the outer layer. It blocks liquid while allowing oxygen and water vapor to pass through, combining a waterproof barrier with breathability. This construction is designed to protect the wound area as part of the dressing’s wound-care function.

• SAF layer helps keep absorbed exudate contained within the dressing.
• Nonwoven layer distributes exudate across the dressing layers.

Is the silicone contact layer gentle on a moist wound?

The medical-grade, hypoallergenic soft silicone contact layer is designed not to stick to a moist wound, while remaining adhesive on dry skin. This combination is intended to reduce pain and trauma during dressing changes. The dressing is self-adherent, so its adhesive border helps it stay in place on dry surrounding skin.

Because the contact layer is intended to meet the wound and the border adheres to dry skin, position the foam pad over the wound and the border on the surrounding skin. The film layer supplies the liquid barrier, while its semi-permeable design still permits oxygen and water vapor to pass.

• Soft silicone forms the wound-contact surface.
• Adhesion is intended for dry surrounding skin rather than the moist wound surface.

Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing is suited to people seeking a layered, absorbent dressing for moderately to highly exuding wounds, including post-operative and pressure-related wound-care needs. Its 2.5 in x 2.5 in (6.35 cm x 6.35 cm) foam pad is the key fit reference within the 4 in x 4 in border.
