McKesson Lite Hydrocellular Foam Dressing w/ Silicone Adhesive w/o Border, 6 x 6

McKesson Lite Hydrocellular Foam Dressing with Silicone Adhesive, Without Border, 6 x 6

The McKesson Lite Hydrocellular Foam Dressing is a gentle, highly absorbent wound dressing designed for people managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds at home or in a clinical setting. Featuring a silicone gel adhesive and no border, it's ideal for pressure injuries, leg and foot ulcers, surgical wounds, skin tears, and other draining wounds where secure yet gentle coverage matters. The silicone adhesion holds the dressing firmly in place while releasing without tearing fragile skin.

This dressing works by combining an inner foam pad that absorbs excess wound fluid with a breathable outer film layer that allows airflow while resisting moisture and bacteria from the outside. The silicone gel sticks to healthy, dry skin rather than the wound bed, so dressing changes are more comfortable and safer for the healing tissue. Because it's repositionable, you can adjust it during application without losing adhesion, and the seal it forms helps prevent leaks and keeps the wound moist for faster healing.

This dressing measures 6 x 6 inches and comes without a border, making it easy to secure with a secondary retention layer where needed. It's available in multiple purchase options, including a single dressing, a box of 10, and a case of 200, so you can stock the quantity that fits your needs. Wound care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity below to order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of wounds is this dressing best for?
A: It's well suited for moderately to heavily draining wounds such as pressure injuries, leg and foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and skin tears, where a moist healing environment and gentle adhesion are important.

Q: Will the silicone adhesive hurt when I remove it?
A: No. The silicone gel adhesive is designed to hold securely yet remove gently with minimal skin disturbance, and it sticks to healthy skin rather than the wound bed for added safety and comfort.

Q: What does "without border" mean?
A: A borderless dressing has no adhesive frame around the edge, giving you flexibility to trim or secure it with a secondary dressing or tape as your care routine requires.

Q: How often should the dressing be changed?
A: Change frequency depends on the amount of wound drainage and your provider's instructions. Because the dressing is repositionable and remains adherent, it can often stay in place through the recommended wear time.

Q: Does the dressing keep the wound moist while blocking bacteria?
A: Yes. The absorbent foam and breathable outer film help maintain a moist healing environment while the film layer resists outside moisture and bacteria.
