Medline Optifoam Gentle EX Bordered Foam Dressing, 3 x 3 in, 10 Count

Medline Optifoam Gentle EX is a 3 x 3 in (7.62 x 7.62 cm) bordered foam adhesive dressing for partial- and full-thickness wounds with moderate drainage, supplied as 10 dressings.

• Five layers with a superabsorbent core — takes up wound fluid, turns it into gel and locks it away.
• Silicone-faced foam — gently covers the wound and helps reduce friction.
• Gentle silicone adhesive border — allows lifting and reapplication for easier repositioning.
• Moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) adjusts to fluid level — supports breathability.
• For primary or secondary use, with a maximum wear time of 7 days — suits moderate drainage.
• Designed to help displace pressure when used with a pressure injury prevention protocol.

For wound care that calls for more than a simple adhesive bandage, this dressing combines an absorbent foam center with a bordered format. Its flexible, low-profile design is made to conform to the wound area, while the layered construction manages moderate drainage. The dressing is intended for use as either a primary or a secondary dressing.

How does Optifoam Gentle EX manage wound fluid?

The five-layer dressing has a superabsorbent core that takes in exudate, converts it into gel and holds it within the core. This helps keep absorbed fluid locked away in the dressing. The silicone-faced foam rests over the wound and helps reduce friction, while the MVTR adjusts to the level of fluid to improve breathability.

• Low-profile construction combines with flexible foam to conform to the wound area.
• The dressing is made for partial- and full-thickness wounds with moderate drainage.

Can the bordered dressing be repositioned?

Yes, its gentle silicone adhesive border can be lifted and reapplied to make repositioning easier. The flexible, conformable foam and low-profile design support a comfortable fit around the wound area. Its maximum wear time is 7 days.

• Use it as a primary dressing over the wound or as a secondary dressing.
• The adhesive border is designed for gentle removal.

What wound-care situations is this dressing designed for?

Optifoam Gentle EX is intended for partial- and full-thickness wounds with moderate drainage. It can serve as the primary layer over a wound or as a secondary dressing, depending on the wound-care setup. When used as part of a pressure injury prevention protocol, its design helps collectively displace pressure; it is not a substitute for that protocol.

• Five-layer medical-grade construction is designed for advanced wound care.
• The layered format distinguishes it from ordinary drugstore bandages.

This 10-count pack suits wound-care settings that need a bordered foam dressing in a 3 x 3 in square size for moderate drainage. It is intended for partial- or full-thickness wounds, rather than wounds outside those stated uses. Its absorbent layered core, repositionable silicone border and flexible profile bring those functions together in one dressing.
