What is a Foam Dressing used for?

Foam Wound Dressings are usually made up of semipermeable polyurethane with small, open cells that are capable of holding fluids. The surface that comes in contact with the wound is non-adherent and allows for trauma-free removal. They create a moist wound healing environment by letting the moisture in but keep the bacteria and other contaminants out. Foam dressings for wounds are available in different sizes and shapes, some with adhesive tape or borders around the edges for easy application.
