HydraFoam Foam Dressings

When a wound is producing moderate to heavy drainage, the dressing has one job above all: absorb without drying out the wound bed. DermaRite HydraFoam is a polyurethane foam dressing built for exactly that balance. The absorbent foam wicks exudate away from the skin while maintaining the moist environment that supports faster granulation, making it a practical choice for pressure injuries, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, and skin tears.

Every HydraFoam dressing in this collection is non-adhesive and without a border, which matters more than it sounds. Non-adhesive foam sits directly on fragile or peri-wound skin without pulling at it during removal — a real advantage for elderly patients, thin skin, or wounds surrounded by delicate tissue. Because there's no adhesive border, you'll secure these with a wrap, tape, or secondary dressing of your choice, giving clinicians and caregivers full control over fit and pressure.

Sizing follows the wound, not the other way around. The line covers small to large areas: the 2 x 2 inch (00294E) for fingers, toes, and shallow wounds; the versatile 4 x 4.25 inch (00295E) for the most common everyday wounds; and the 6 x 6 inch (00296E) for larger sacral or heel involvement. All are sterile, tan, and cut in a square profile that trims easily to shape.

Foam dressings like these are typically changed every one to three days depending on drainage, and the goal is to change before strikethrough occurs — not on a rigid schedule. Pairing HydraFoam with an appropriate cleanser and, where indicated, a skin protectant helps preserve the surrounding skin over a full course of healing.
