Buyer questions, answered
Clear answers for preparing a comparable sourcing request for Foam Dressing.
When should you use a foam dressing?
Foam dressings are chosen for moderate to heavy exudate. This dressing is listed for pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, burns and post-operative wounds; the clinician decides for each wound.
Foam dressing vs hydrocolloid: which should you choose?
Foam absorbs more exudate and is listed for moderate to heavy exudate. Our hydrocolloid dressing is listed for low to moderate exudate and keeps a moist environment under a waterproof backing.
Foam dressing vs alginate: what is the difference?
Alginate dressings are made of calcium alginate fibers and come as sheets or ropes for heavily exuding and cavity wounds. Foam dressings are polyurethane sheets. Alginate dressings are also in our catalog and can be quoted on request.
What sizes do foam dressings come in?
Square sizes run from 5 × 5 cm to 20 × 20 cm, in adhesive and non-adhesive versions. Sacral, heel and bordered shapes are also available.
