McKesson Lite Hydrocellular Foam Dressings with Border & Silicone Adhesive, 6 x 6"

The McKesson Lite Hydrocellular Foam Dressing is a bordered, silicone-adhesive foam wound dressing designed for managing wounds with light to moderate drainage. Measuring 6 x 6 inches with an inner foam pad of 4 x 4 inches, it's ideal for anyone caring for pressure injuries, skin tears, surgical sites, leg ulcers, and other draining wounds that need a comfortable, secure, and absorbent cover. Its gentle silicone gel adhesive makes it especially well suited for fragile or sensitive skin.

The dressing works by combining an absorbent hydrocellular foam pad that draws in and locks away wound fluid with a soft silicone gel border that sticks to the surrounding dry skin rather than the wound bed. This means it stays securely in place, forms a leak-resistant seal, and then peels away with minimal disturbance to healing tissue. A breathable outer film layer allows airflow to the skin while keeping out moisture and bacteria, helping to maintain an optimal healing environment. Because the silicone adhesive retains its tack, the dressing can be lifted and repositioned during application without losing its hold.

This dressing is available in multiple purchase options, including a single dressing, a box of 10, and a case of 200, so you can choose the quantity that fits your needs. Home medical supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below to order.
