Availability: In stock — ready to ship
Gentle, Long-Wear Comfort for Fewer Dressing Changes
The McKesson Silicone Foam Dressing is designed to stay comfortably in place for up to 7 days, or as directed by a healthcare professional — meaning fewer changes, less disruption to healing tissue, and less day-to-day hassle for caregivers managing wound care at home. Its soft, perforated silicone adhesive border affixes securely to dry, intact skin while remaining gentle enough to lift and reposition without losing its hold, so getting the placement right doesn't mean starting over with a new dressing.
Underneath, the absorbent hydrocellular foam pad helps maintain a moist wound environment that supports the body's natural healing process, while the breathable outer film layer keeps air circulating and blocks out bacteria and excess moisture. It's a practical, comfortable option for wounds with moderate drainage, whether you're caring for yourself, a family member, or a patient.

- Up to 7-Day Wear Time (or as directed by a healthcare professional), reducing the need for frequent changes.
- Breathable, Bacteria-Resistant Film Layer: Allows air circulation while sealing out moisture and bacteria.
- Highly Conformable: Flexes to fit the body's contours and stays intact through daily movement.
- Sterile & Single-Use.
- Latex-Free: Not made with natural rubber latex.
Equipment Specialist Insight: Compared to traditional gauze-and-tape dressings, a silicone foam dressing like this one trades a higher per-unit cost for meaningfully fewer changes and less adhesive trauma to fragile or healing skin — a real advantage for longer-term wound management or sensitive skin. It's best suited to wounds with light-to-moderate drainage; for heavily draining wounds that need frequent absorption checks, a more absorbent primary dressing changed more often may be the better fit. As always, follow your healthcare provider's specific wound care plan and change-frequency guidance.
