Great for protecting delicate skin. Non-adhesive. - I loved this foam in caregiving for my husband. I used it for padding on his skin. It is non-adhesive. His skin was very delicate and needed padding without more breakdown. This helps tremendously. Highly recommend it, especially for people who might have skin breakdown or pressure sores. It helped keep my honey together until he passed four months ago. Review: This dressing works great to help relieve wound pain!! - I've been trying to get on top of leg ulcer sores I've had for 2 months now.. 1 emergency room visit, 4 doctor visits & $5,000 later... not one medical person suggested the need to ALSO FOCUS ON HEALING THE SORE ITSELF! I've been exudating maybe 2 cups or more of serum daily from my 3 sores (yellowish to clear liquid) that cover 20 square inches total from all 3 sores. Walking around the house with a rolled towel taped around my bare angle and changing it every couple hours... I never realized until now how terrible and painful leg ulcers can be. I got Algicate+ Gelling Calcium Alginate and also the Silver Calcium Alginate dressing versions to alternate directly on the sores. They develop a thick gel to seal, protect & heal, addiing a thin coat of MediHoney on the dressing, then add this 6x6 MedVance TM Foam dressing over the top of the healing wound cover. The combination completely stopped all fluid weeping from the dressings and after 3 days the outer gauze wrap was still dry & white! WOW what a difference!! This pad also adds some extra cusioning to the wounds and I finally realized most of the pain from these sores is when the raw outer surface of the skin gets aggravated by anything rough (even smooth cotton gauze wrap is almost like sharp steel wire when it is put right on an open flesh sore)... it took me weeks to realize that removing the dressings usually relieved the sore pain within 15 minutes. HIGH Absorbency and being a large 6x6 cushioning pad directly over sores or open wounds is why I really love these pads and am now going to buy more for my medical stock. You can cut this foam into smaller pieces; I put the white side toward the other dressing and the yellow part facing outbward, since it looks like the yellow part is a seal to prevent moisture from leaking past it. Great product that has helped to greatly relieve my pain and increase comfort for heavily exudating leg sores! ## Features - WHY SILVER CALCIUM ALGINATE? Silver Calcium is a broad-spectrum that helps prevent infection of wounds while providing optimum environment to facilitate healing. The alginate produces a hydrophilic gel when it comes into contact with wound exudate which provides a moist healing environment. - COMFORTABLE USE: Conforms to body contours and provides maximum patient comfort. Does not stick to the wound to prevent secondary damage and can be cut to size for those difficult areas. - SEMI-PERMEABLE: Semi–permeable PU film acts a liquid barrier while allows the passage of oxygen and water vapor. The multilayer structure works together to create a high absorbent yet breathable surface keeping the wound moist and sterile. - STERILE AND INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED: Each dressing is manufactured in a sterile facility and are individually wrapped to prevent contamination of wounds. Can be used in hospitals, senior care homes, hospice, and other medical facilities. - MULTI-USE: Effective for applications such as post-operative wounds, bed sores, cysts, pressure ulcers, burns, and other minor traumas. Approved for Level II of the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS).

The directions are not clear. In fact, I ordered the foam that is not supposed to have adhesive and the directions say to "...remove the release film and apply the adherent side to the wound". If I get an answer I will post my findings here. **Q: Size of pad** A: 4"x4" **Q: When you change dressings, do you wash these or put them back on as is?** A: We throw them away. I do not believe they are intended for more than one application. **Q: Does it stick?** A: This is a foam dressing without adhesive or border . You can check Medvance Heal H3010404 .
