Cardinal Health BFM44 - Silicone Bordered Foam Advanced Wound Dressing for Superior Absorption and Protection, 4" x 4" with 3" x 3" Pad, 10/BX, 5BX/CS

Product Overview

The Cardinal Health BFM44 Silicone Bordered Foam dressing is a high-performance wound care solution designed to provide superior absorption, comfort, and secure adhesion. Featuring a soft silicone border, this dressing offers gentle yet effective adhesion, minimizing skin irritation while ensuring the dressing stays in place.

The multi-layer foam structure enhances moisture management by absorbing exudate, promoting an optimal healing environment. It is commonly used for managing moderate to highly exuding wounds, such as pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and trauma injuries, in both clinical and home care settings.

Key Benefits

• Soft silicone border provides secure adhesion with gentle removal to protect fragile skin
• High-absorbency foam core manages exudate effectively, reducing maceration risk
• Creates a moist wound healing environment, promoting faster recovery
• Waterproof and breathable outer layer protects against external contaminants
• Conforms to body contours for enhanced patient comfort and flexibility

Compatibility and Applications

The Cardinal Health BFM44 Silicone Bordered Foam dressing is widely used in:

• Pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers requiring moisture control

• Hospitals, wound care centers, and home healthcare settings

This dressing is suitable for delicate and sensitive skin, making it an ideal choice for patients prone to skin damage or irritation from traditional adhesives.

To ensure optimal wound care and dressing performance:

• Clean and dry the wound area before applying the dressing
