All foams soak it up,KerraFoam™ locks it up

Locks in moisture and helps to reduce maceration

Older generation foam dressings claim superior fluid handling by virtue of their MVTR rates

not absorption rates. However, MVTR is fine under laboratory conditions but in a clinical

situation, with changes in humidity under bandages and temperature changes means that

MVTR can reduce, substantially increasing risk of maceration.7

Excellent retention capabilities

KerraFoam Gentle Border also has excellent fluid retention capabilities in comparison to other foam

dressings – retaining more than double that of the two leading foam brands1. Instantly locking

harmful excess exudate away from the skin helps to prevent maceration and wound edge breakdown.

Highly comfortable and conformable

Soft silicone adhesive helps to prevent skin stripping.6

Adheres well to awkward areas without limiting movement.

Introducingthe NEW super smart foam dressing

Unlike traditional foams, KerraFoam Gentle Border’s absorbent core and

foam pad absorbs more liquid than the leading competitors,1 reducing

maceration.2 It also locks bacteria3 and MMPs4 away from the wound bed.

Lateral wicking technology increases capacity and wear-time,5 and a soft

silicone adhesive contact layer helps to prevent painful dressing changes

and skin stripping.6 All the softness and comfort you expect from a foam,

KerraFoam Gentle Border is an intelligent fl uid management system.
