DermaFoam Foam Dressings for Moderate to Heavy Exudate

When a wound weeps and the surrounding skin needs protection, DermaFoam by DermaRite delivers absorbent, non-adhesive foam that manages moderate to heavy exudate while keeping the wound bed at an optimal moisture balance. These sterile dressings are a practical choice for pressure ulcers, venous and diabetic leg ulcers, surgical wounds, skin tears, and donor sites — anywhere fluid control and comfortable, non-traumatic wear matter.

Because DermaFoam dressings are non-adhesive without a border, they rely on a secondary dressing or wrap to hold them in place. That's exactly what makes them so gentle on fragile or peri-wound skin: removal doesn't pull at healing tissue, and clinicians can layer them into a dressing protocol that suits the patient. The soft tan foam conforms to the wound and wicks fluid away vertically, helping reduce maceration around the edges.

Sizes and formats cover most common needs. The 2 x 2 in (00290E) suits smaller wounds and awkward locations, while the 4 x 4-1/4 in (00291E) and larger 6 x 7 in (00293E) handle broader wound beds. For moisture-prone areas, the DermaFoam Waterproof Foam Dressing, 6 x 6 in (00292E) adds a waterproof backing that resists strike-through and supports patients who need to bathe or move freely. The fenestrated DermaFoam Tracheostomy Foam Dressing, 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 in (45330) is pre-cut to fit around trach and drain sites cleanly.

All DermaFoam dressings arrive sterile and individually packaged for single-use application. Choose the size closest to the wound dimensions, leaving room to overlap onto intact skin, and pair with an appropriate cover dressing.
