Safe N Simple Simpurity 5 Layer Bordered Sacral Shape Silicone Foam Dressing, 5" x 8"
5x8 Sacral Shape Silicone Foam Dressing for Pressure Ulcer Management
Product Description
Managing wounds in the sacral area presents unique challenges for patients and caregivers. The sacrum is a high-risk location for pressure ulcers due to prolonged sitting or lying down, and dressings in this area must conform to body contours while staying securely in place. Standard dressings often fail to provide adequate coverage, shift during movement, or cause painful trauma during changes on fragile skin. Finding a dressing specifically designed for this sensitive, hard-to-dress area is essential for effective care
The Safe N Simple Simpurity 5 Layer Bordered Sacral Shape Silicone Foam Dressing is designed to address these needs. This 5" x 8" sterile dressing features a specially contoured sacral shape that conforms comfortably to the buttocks and lower back area . The 5-layer construction combines a highly absorbent foam pad for managing moderate to heavy exudate with a gentle silicone adhesive border that adheres securely to surrounding skin without sticking to the wound bed . This design helps maintain a moist wound healing environment while allowing for low-trauma removal that minimizes pain during dressing changes
This Safe N Simple dressing is classified as a wound-nonadherent dressing, absorbent, non-antimicrobial, and is intended for single-use applications . The breathable, waterproof backing helps protect against external contaminants while supporting the wound healing process . It is ideal for managing pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and chronic wounds in the sacral region
