RTTHEL Silicone Foam Dressing, 3 x 3 in, 20 Pack, Waterproof with Gentle Border
Product description
Benefits
A five-layer silicone foam core absorbs wound exudate and cushions the area, helping protect it during everyday wound care. The dressing is designed to absorb up to 15 times its weight and support a moist wound environment, while its silicone border adheres to dry skin without sticking to the moist wound surface.
A semi-permeable polyurethane film helps block outside liquids and contaminants while allowing oxygen and moisture vapor to circulate. The absorbent core and fluid-locking layer help manage moisture at the wound, making this dressing a practical choice for repeated care on delicate skin.

Who it’s for
This dressing is intended for mild to moderately exuding wounds, including abrasions, cuts, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, venous ulcers, first- and second-degree burns, post-surgical wounds, and other minor trauma. Its gentle silicone contact and cushioned foam make it especially relevant when dressing changes need to be repeated or the surrounding skin is delicate. The 3 x 3 in format gives a defined coverage area, while the smaller pad sits over the wound.
For wound care, the difference from a basic gauze pad is the combination of an absorbent foam center, a fluid-locking layer, and a waterproof, breathable film. That construction is designed to manage exudate while helping shield the wound from external contaminants. Follow the care instructions provided by your healthcare professional for your specific wound.
What to clarify
What size is each dressing? Each dressing measures 3 x 3 in overall, with a 1.57 x 1.57 in pad. The overall dressing includes the border around the absorbent pad.
How does the silicone border adhere? It is self-adherent and designed to attach to dry skin without sticking to the moist wound surface. This can help make removal gentler during repeat dressing changes.
Does the outer layer allow airflow while blocking liquid? The semi-permeable polyurethane film is described as waterproof and breathable: it blocks outside liquids and contaminants while allowing oxygen and moisture vapor to circulate.
When it makes sense
Choose this 20-pack when wound care calls for a bordered foam dressing that combines absorption, cushioning, and a gentle silicone adhesive. It suits a home or care-setting supply for the wound types listed above, particularly when managing moisture and protecting delicate surrounding skin are priorities. The 3 x 3 in format offers a compact dressing with a smaller central pad, while the breathable film adds a barrier against outside liquid. Together, these features make it a useful alternative to a simple gauze pad for covered wound care.
