What is DM43880-Box ComfortFoam Border Foam Wound Dressing with Soft Silicone Adhesive, Sm. Sacral, 7.2 x 7.2?

The DM43880-Box ComfortFoam Border Foam Wound Dressing is a sterile, single-use medical device designed for effective wound exudate management. Measuring 7.2 x 7.2 inches, this small sacral-specific dressing features a soft silicone adhesive border that securely adheres to the periwound skin without sticking to the wound bed, reducing pain and tissue damage during removal.

It's breathable, waterproof, and provides a protective barrier against bacteria and external contaminants.
