FoamLite Thin Foam Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

ConvaTec FoamLite Thin Foam Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

The ConvaTec FoamLite Thin Foam Dressing is a soft, low-profile foam wound dressing designed for the management of low to nonexuding chronic and acute wounds. Measuring 4 x 4 inches, it's a versatile choice for patients, caregivers, and clinicians who need reliable, comfortable coverage for shallow wounds, minor surgical sites, skin tears, and other lightly draining injuries. Its thin, flexible design helps it stay discreet under clothing while providing dependable protection.

FoamLite works by combining a breathable, waterproof outer film with an absorbent foam core to help manage light exudate and maintain a moist wound environment that supports healing. The perforated, gentle silicone adhesive holds the dressing securely in place yet lifts away with minimal trauma to the wound bed or the surrounding skin, making dressing changes more comfortable. The breathable film allows moisture vapor to escape, helping to protect fragile peri-wound skin from maceration during day-to-day wear.

This dressing is available in multiple purchase options, so you can choose a Single dressing to try it or a Box of 10 for ongoing wound care needs. It features a skin-friendly silicone adhesive, a conformable thin profile, and a waterproof backing that lets you shower with confidence. This item may be FSA/HSA eligible.
