Crawford KerraFoam Gentle Border Heel Dressing

Benefits of KerraFoam Gentle Border Dressing

• Manages Microclimate: – large holes in the silicone contact layer, a breathable film layer and highly absorbent core work together to absorb and lock away moisture and reduce humidity – two of the biggest catalysts to skin breakdown
• Reduce Friction and Shear: – Forces are both deflected by the anti-friction out layer and transferred into the layers of the dressing and elastic silicone adhesive, reducing the chance of breakdown
• Distributes Pressure: – Comfortable and highly conformable, the multiple layers of the dressing help to distribute pressure evenly and reduce the risk of ulcers developing at pressure points
• Slides and Protects: The smooth outer film layer helps to reduce shear and friction, create a water-resistant bacterial barrier, and maintain an ideal MCTR
• Glides: A soft inner pouch allows the layers to move freely, absorbing shear and friction forces that can damage peri-wound skin
• Absorbs and Locks: Absorbent core and foam pad combine to in lock in exudate, bacteria, and MMPs – even under compression
• Wicks: Unique horizontal wicking layer efficiently increases absorption capacity and reduces pressure points by distributing exudate throughout the dressing
• Sticks: A soft silicone layer ensures gentle adhesion, excellent absorption rate and non-traumatic removal
