Description
Product Info
ESPUMA® Gentle Comfort absorbent wound dressing made of polyurethane foam consists of absorbent polyurethane foam layer with an adhesive outermost PU border.
- The outermost layer is bacteria-proof, virus-proof and waterproof polyurethane film.
- The wound contact layer is perforated soft silicone gel that allows painless and atraumatic removal and permits the passage of exudate to the absorbent foam layer.
Comfortable: as the dressing is easy to remove and minimize trauma during dressing changes.
Cushioning effect: as it acts as a barrier against irritation and constant pressure on the skin.
Breathable: the semi-permeable backing allows moisture to escape.
Prevents skin maceration: as the perforated silicone film allows free passage of wound exudate to the foam.
- High capacity of autolytic debridement and it is particularly useful in preventing dressing-related trauma especially in people with fragile skin.
- It’s indicated for a wide range of exuding wounds as: pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, skin graft, first and second degree burns.
- Can be used in combination with compression therapy.
- The dressing should not be used with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solution or
hydrogen peroxide, as these agents can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing. - The dressing should not be used on patients with a known sensitivity to silicone or polyurethane.
The interval between dressing changes will normally be determined by the degree of exudate produced but the dressing may be left undisturbed for several days on clean lightly exuding wounds.
Soft silicone dressings
are coated with a hydrophobic soft silicone layer that is tacky to touch. These dressings do not stick to the moist wound bed, but will adhere gently to the surrounding skin. They are designed to minimize trauma on removal and do not leave an adhesive residue on the skin.
Foam dressings
are made from a polyurethane base and are permeable to both gases and water vapor. Their hydrophilic properties allow high absorptive properties while they also provide thermal insulation.
How To Use
- Clean and dry the wound thoroughly
- Remove the release liner from the silicone wound contact layer
- A dressing should be selected that overlaps the wound margin by at least two centimeters.
- In case of ESPUMA® Gentle Comfort, do not cut to size, ESPUMA®Gentle Comfort doesn’t need any retention aid or fixation dressing.

DescriptionESPUMA®Gentle Comfort is absorbent, polyurethane foam laminated with perforated soft silicone gel wound contact layer which extends beyond the perimeter of foam to allow easy fixation without adhesive tapes or fixation dressing and provide atraumatic dressing removal. The outermost layer of the dressing is polyurethane non-woven bilaminate which is waterproof, bacteria proof and virus proof.
Features- Gentle soft Silicone gel allows atraumatic dressing removal.
- Pattern coated silicone or perforated silicone film, allow free passage of wound exudate to the foam so prevents skin maceration.
- High absorption capacity polyurethane foam also provides a cushioning effect.
- Highly breathable top sheet allows evaporation of absorbed exudates, thus it enhances fluid handling capacity of the dressing.
- Being waterproof, the top sheet prevents strike through and allows showering while the dressing is in place.
