Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of silver in this dressing?
▾
Silver ions (Ag+) are embedded in the wound-contact layer to inhibit microbial growth within the dressing, helping prevent bacterial colonization and supporting a cleaner healing environment for moderate-exudate wounds.
Does this dressing require tape or secondary fixation?
▾
No, the Mediplus-comfort Foam Border Ag has an integrated polyurethane adhesive border that securely adheres to the skin, eliminating the need for tape or additional bandages during application.
How often should the dressing be changed?

Dressing change frequency depends on wound condition and exudate levels, but typically every 1 to 3 days. Monitor for saturation, leakage, or signs of infection to determine optimal change intervals.
Is this dressing suitable for heavily exuding wounds?
