More Information

• Perforated polyurethane film prevents adherence of the foam pad to the wound bed, allowing for removal with reduced pain and trauma
• Acts as a filter for thick exudates and slough, which are more likely to block the foam surface and hinder its absorption capacity
• Polyurethane foam provides a cushioning effect and high absorption
• Facilitates evaporation of wound exudates absorbed by the foam
• Increases the total fluid uptake and fluid handling capacity of the dressing
• Contraindications:
- Should not be used on wounds with exposed bones or muscles.
• Instructions for use:
  - Step 1: Select an appropriate size dressing. Prepare and clean the skin around the wound. Peel back the protector papers and anchor the dressing over the wound. Smooth the dressing into place, ensuring that the edges of the dressing are not wrinkled.
  - Step 2: During the early stages of treatment, MediPlus Comfort Foam Border Ag dressings should be inspected frequently; dressings can be left in place until exudate can be seen through the outer waterproof film layer and approaches 3/4" from the edge of the dressing.
  - Step 3: To remove, lift one corner of the dressing and lift it gently away from the wound.
• Caution:
  - Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician
