Hartmann 15713105 - Proximel Non-Border Silicone Foam Heel Dressing, 5" x 8", 5/Box
The Hartmann 15713105 Proximel Non-Border Silicone Foam Heel Dressing is a sterile, anatomically designed dressing developed specifically for managing wounds located on the heel. With a curved, contoured shape measuring 5 inches by 8 inches, it conforms comfortably to the heel for secure coverage and protection. The non-bordered design enables flexible placement, while the soft silicone adhesive layer allows for gentle application and removal. Its multilayer foam structure manages exudate effectively and helps maintain a moist wound healing environment.
