The PolyMem Oval Silicone Border Foam Dressing delivers advanced wound care in a gentle, patient-friendly design ideal for sensitive or fragile skin. Built with PolyMem’s patented polymeric membrane formulation, this dressing works in synergy with the body to cleanse, moisturize, absorb, and support healing—all within one simple-to-use product. Its soft silicone adhesive border is repositionable, non-traumatizing, and comfortable, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of wound types.

Features & Benefits

• Secure, comfortable fit: Oval shape helps prevent edge rolling and protects periwound tissue.
• Breathable, protective backing: Thin polyurethane film helps block external contamination while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
• Gentle silicone adhesive border: Skin-friendly, repositionable, and designed for comfort on fragile or sensitive skin.
• Supports faster healing: Helps reduce edema, bruising, and inflammation spread into surrounding healthy tissue.
• Multifunctional polymeric membrane: Contains a built-in safe wound cleanser, glycerin-based moisturizer, and superabsorbent components for complete wound management.

How to Apply

1. Clean the wound area according to facility protocol.
2. Remove the protective liners from the dressing.
3. Position the central membrane directly over the wound bed.
4. Gently press the silicone border onto the skin to ensure full contact.
5. Reposition as needed—silicone allows for gentle adjustments.
