Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing with Border

Some cuts or sores you can cover with a Babd-Aid, some large ones might need gauze or a Telfa pad to protect the site. But for some open wounds and ulcers, a special type of dressing is required to soak up the liquids, or exudate. Dimora offers a specific line of dressings just for this purpose. I will add a few photos of a lower leg ucler common with diabetics and people who suffer from swelling of the extremeties called lymphadema. I first tried gauze dressings but they stuck to the wound and made things worse when I peeled them off. Even Telfa pads, which claim to be non-stick, were less than ideal plus didn't help soak up fluids commonly found in stasis ulcers. Fortunately I found Silicone Foam Dressingss made by Dimora that helped with might otherwise might be months or years of healing time for stasis ulcers. They come in several sizes including 6, 4 and 3 inch squares. I settled on the 4" as being the right size for my particular needs. The 3 and 4 inch dressings offer a choice of with or without a thinner adhesive border. Each has good sticking power, but I chose to anchor each side with tape then wrap the whole thing in an Ace wrap for greater protection. Since the Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing with Border Adhesive has a cushiony, sterile center it offer great protection against germs and accidental bumps and feels cooling going on. The outer layer is somehow air-permeable while the dressing itself is considered a waterproof barrier. The dressings may be left on up to 2 days, but in the beginning I chose to chane them twice a day. They peel off very easily without damaging surrounding sjkin or the fragile wound area itself. In the first stage of healing you will first see a whitish-yellow surface called slough. This is dead skin cells and fluids seeping out of the damaged area. Unfortunately, such ulcers cannot heal properly with this layer and must be removed. Debriding can be done manually with a clean cloth and warm water but it is far less painful to let the silicone foam pads do the work. As the healing continues you see more pinkish red granulation tissue and finally, no more open areas at all. If you purchase the Dimora dressings without borders you can cut them to size, say 2" x 4" or 1" squares, for greater value if that fits your needs. Tip: the dressings with borders have a smaller usable foam space, about 2" for the 4" since each borders measures about 1/2". The dressings are protected by peel off covering, like the backs of Band-Aids. I highly recommend these as a top quality product with easy application and removal. I could have used them back in the day I had a deep (full thickness) second degree burn for which they are also recommended.

I’ve been very impressed with the Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing with Border Adhesive. These bandages are truly waterproof, lightweight, and extremely comfortable to wear, even around a sensitive surgical site. They handle wound drainage well without leaking, stay securely in place, and don’t irritate my skin at all, which is a huge plus for extended wear. The silicone adhesive removes cleanly and pain-free, and the fast shipping was an added bonus. My only downside is the price, which feels a bit high, but the quality, comfort, and reliability make them worth it for proper wound care.

Really good product. It does stick to the skin without damaging it. Provides cushioning. My mom who is 94, doesn’t feel she has it on. It does not itch, and if you place it accordingly it never gets dirty or wet.

The dressings work wonderfully. Have been using for years. The packaging, though, from Amazon, I guess, does not keep the boxes from being crushed.

My mom dressed her toe with a cream couple hours before taking a shower. But when she went to apply this foam dressing, it did not stick. She opened a second one and tried, and nothing worked. We thought they were faulty. Luckily my mom decided to try it again, and made sure her toe was completely dry before applying. And it stuck! Unfortunately, this happened after I left a review saying it wouldn't stick. Before I could change the review, the company reached out and was willing to give me a refund. They were so nice to offer it. I briefly explained what had happened and let them know I didn't need a refund. So here I am letting others know this is a good company and a good product. Just apply the dressing correctly and all will be fine.

These wound dressings are really great. They covered my surgical incision perfectly and protected it. It absorbed drainage and kept it off of my skin. They stay put as well. Even in physical therapy they stayed in place.

great product and delivery was on time

Good quality dressing. Both adhered and absorbed as required. Would not cope with heavy wound discharge. Did not cause reaction on highly sensitive skin which was a major positive.
