RTTHEL Sacrum Silicone Foam Dressing, 7 x 7 in, 10-Pack with Border
Product description
For dressing a sacral wound in a high-moisture area, this silicone foam dressing combines an absorbent pad with a bordered design. Each dressing measures 7 x 7 inches, with a 5.3 x 4.3-inch pad. Its five-layer construction is designed to absorb wound fluid while cushioning the area. The pack contains 10 dressings for ongoing wound-care routines.
Quick sizing guide
The overall dressing measures 7 x 7 inches, and the absorbent pad measures 5.3 x 4.3 inches. That gives you the measurements of both the full bordered dressing and the central pad when planning placement over a sacral area. The 10-piece pack is suited to care routines that call for a supply of dressings on hand.
Why it makes sense
The five-layer design combines a thick foam core with an SAF layer to absorb and hold fluid. The dressing is described as absorbing up to 15 times its weight in wound exudate, helping manage fluid from moderately to highly exuding wounds. Compared with traditional gauze, this foam format is designed for greater absorption and fewer dressing changes, which can be useful when managing wounds that produce more fluid.
A medical-grade, hypoallergenic silicone adhesive is intended to attach to dry skin without sticking to the moist wound surface. That design supports removal with less pulling at the wound area, a practical consideration for delicate skin and repeated dressing changes. The bordered format keeps the dressing in place as part of routine care.
A semi-permeable polyurethane film layer is both waterproof and breathable. It helps block liquids and external contaminants while allowing oxygen and moisture vapor to circulate. Together, the film and absorbent layers make the dressing suitable for use in high-moisture areas such as the buttocks.

When it makes sense
This dressing is intended for moderately to highly exuding wounds, including sacral pressure sores, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, and skin tears. The listed uses also include burns, postoperative wounds, and abrasions. Its shape and dimensions are designed for sacral wound care, while the foam core and moisture-managing layers support use where absorbency and cushioning are priorities.
For a wound-care routine that uses gauze, this bordered foam dressing offers a different approach: an absorbent core, adhesive border, and protective outer film in one dressing. It is intended for use in hospitals, hospices, and home care settings. For care of sacral or other fluid-producing wounds, the 7 x 7-inch format, silicone adhesion, and layered construction bring practical features together in a single dressing.
