MedVance TM Foam – Waterproof Non-Adhesive Hydrophilic Foam Dressing 6"X6" Box of 5 dressings

use them for calluses works good

Does not stick to an open wound. I get the 6" x6" bandage and cut to size. Antibiotics & tape to hold in place.

It doesn't stick, so be sure to have your tape and/or rolled gauze handy to quickly wrap or fasten your wound, so foam doesn't fall off. You really should have sterile barriers or towel or something under your extremity during dressing change in case foam drops off. You don't want it to touch floor or bed which also has bacteria, viruses, fungus on them which can get on foam if it touches those surfaces.

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!

I like the foam dressing for 2 bedsores on a friend that I've been helping out, It gives on contact comfort with the silicone gel as well as keeping the medicine that is put on stable bc the adhesive around the edges stay put. Excellent purchase!

I like that it covered a rather large ulcer on my leg and that it felt comfortable. I even slept ok.

The product works well and it does absorb "some" of the wound liquid, but not as stated in the product. Of course this is dependent on the density of the liquid. It would be helpful if the product stated types of liquids it is specifically rated to absorb from Lymph fluid discharge to blood. It does a poor job on blood and a somewhat fair job on lymph fluid though nothing like a standard sponge.

It was just a piece of foam, it didn’t absorb well and it have to be applied with tape
