Description:
This Dimora Silicone Wound Pad 6” x 6” is a soft, breathable dressing designed for managing moderate to heavy exudation from wounds. It combines quick absorption with gentle skin contact to support consistent wound care without causing irritation or damage.
Key Points
The pad features a SAP-composite core that absorbs exudate rapidly, converting it into gel within one second. This action helps reduce maceration risk and keeps the wound environment stable. It can absorb up to 20 times its weight in fluid, which may lower the need for frequent dressing changes. The internal cutting design allows the pad to extend outward in all directions, offering a more flexible fit that reduces tension on the skin. A self-adhesive silicone layer ensures gentle, repeatable adhesion without pulling or sticking to the wound bed. The inner foam structure disperses thick liquids evenly, preventing the dressing from pooling or causing secondary trauma.

Benefits
This dressing provides reliable fluid management in wounds that produce significant exudate. Its breathable design helps maintain a dry wound surface, which supports healing. The outward extension improves comfort by reducing pressure points and minimizing skin trauma during dressing changes. The silicone layer ensures consistent contact without damaging the skin, making it ideal for patients who require frequent monitoring.
Usage Recommendations
For best results, apply the pad directly to clean, dry wound areas. Ensure the wound is not dry or low-exuding before use. Replace the dressing when it becomes saturated or after 24 hours, depending on exudation levels. Avoid using on third-degree burns or sensitive areas such as eyes or mucous membranes. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
