Optifoam Gentle EX is a premium, hospital-grade 5-layer silicone-faced bordered foam dressing . It is designed for advanced wound care and pressure injury prevention.

Key Features and 5-Layer Design

The dressing utilizes five specialized layers to manage moisture, displace pressure, and absorb friction:

Silicone Layer: Provides gentle adhesion to the surrounding skin, minimizing pain and trauma during removal or repositioning.

Absorbent Layer: A superabsorbent core that locks away wound fluid (exudate) and converts it into a gel to prevent skin maceration.

Transfer Layer: Moves fluids dynamically away from the skin toward the upper layers to prevent pooling and leakage.

Foam Layer: Cushions the wound and provides secondary fluid absorption.

Breathable Film: Acts as a waterproof barrier that protects the area from external dirt, moisture, and germs while adjusting ventilation based on fluid levels.
