CuraFoam Wound Dressings

When a wound weeps more than a thin dressing can handle, foam is usually the answer — and CuraFoam is a dependable choice for managing moderate to heavy exudate while keeping the wound bed in the moist, protected environment it needs to heal. These absorbent polyurethane foam dressings are designed to draw fluid away from the skin, cushion the site against pressure and friction, and reduce the risk of maceration on the surrounding tissue.

Clinicians and caregivers reach for foam dressings like these across a range of situations: pressure injuries, venous leg and diabetic ulcers, surgical and donor sites, skin tears, and other partial- to full-thickness wounds. If you're deciding between foam and other dressing types, the general rule is that foam suits wounds with noticeable drainage, whereas lightly exuding or dry wounds are often better served by hydrocolloids or transparent films.

CuraFoam options typically include both non-adhesive pads, held in place with a secondary wrap or tape, and adhesive-bordered versions that seal directly to intact skin for a self-contained dressing. Choosing between them comes down to the wound location, the fragility of the surrounding skin, and how often you expect to change the dressing. Foam's soft conformability also makes it a comfortable pick over bony prominences and awkward-to-dress areas.
