Availability: In stock — ready to ship
Contoured Comfort for a Hard-to-Dress Area
The McKesson Silicone Sacral Foam Dressing is shaped specifically for the tailbone area, making it easier to get a secure, comfortable fit where a standard square dressing just doesn't sit right. Its soft, perforated silicone adhesive border affixes gently but securely to dry, intact skin, and can be lifted and repositioned during placement without losing its hold — helpful when you're working around a curved, hard-to-reach area.
Underneath, the absorbent hydrocellular foam pad helps maintain a moist wound environment that supports healing, while the breathable outer film layer keeps air circulating and blocks out bacteria and excess moisture. Designed to stay in place for up to 7 days, or as directed by a healthcare professional, it's a practical option for longer-term care of pressure-prone areas.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The sacral shape is worth choosing specifically for tailbone-area wounds — a square dressing tends to wrinkle or lift at the edges in that spot, while this contoured design stays flatter and holds its seal longer. Like the square silicone foam dressings in this line, it's best suited to light-to-moderate drainage; for heavily draining wounds, a more absorbent primary dressing with more frequent changes may be the better fit. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific wound care plan.
