Kendall AMD Antimicrobial Foam Dressing
Kendall AMD Antimicrobial Foam Dressing is an open-cell polyurethane foam dressing impregnated with 0.5% polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB). It is designed to help manage both wound moisture and bacterial balance in moderate to heavily exuding wounds.
The dressing combines absorbent foam technology with broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection to support a controlled moist wound environment across acute and chronic wound care applications.
Key Features
- Open-cell polyurethane foam structure for exudate absorption
- Contains 0.5% PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide)
- Helps resist bacterial colonization within the dressing
- Vertical wicking action moves fluid into foam core
- Supports moist wound healing environment
- Effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
- Soft and conformable for patient comfort
- Available in standard, bordered, and fenestrated configurations
Quick Summary
- Used for moderate to heavily exuding wounds
- Combines antimicrobial PHMB with foam absorption
- Suitable for pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and surgical wounds
- Can be used as primary or secondary dressing depending on wound protocol
What Is This Product?
Kendall AMD is a polyurethane antimicrobial foam dressing engineered to simultaneously manage wound exudate and bacterial burden. The foam matrix contains PHMB, a broad-spectrum antiseptic commonly used in wound management systems.
Its micro-structured open-cell foam surface absorbs exudate while the dense internal core retains fluid to help reduce strike-through and leakage.
Indications / Wound Types
- Pressure injuries (Stage I–IV as clinically appropriate)
- Venous leg ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Post-surgical wounds
- Traumatic wounds
- Donor sites
- Abrasions and lacerations
- First- and second-degree burns
- Moderate to heavily exuding wounds
How It Works
The polyurethane foam absorbs wound exudate through a vertical wicking mechanism that distributes fluid into the dressing core. This helps maintain moisture balance while reducing pooling at the wound surface.
PHMB binds within the foam structure and provides antimicrobial activity against a broad range of microorganisms commonly associated with wound contamination.
Application Instructions
- Clean wound according to clinical protocol
- Dry surrounding intact skin
- Select appropriate dressing size extending beyond wound margins
- Apply directly to wound bed
- Use secondary fixation if non-adhesive version is selected
- Monitor dressing saturation and wound condition regularly
Dressing Change Guidance
Dressing change frequency depends on exudate level and clinical evaluation. The dressing may remain in place for several days when clinically appropriate and saturation capacity has not been reached.
More frequent changes may be necessary in heavily draining wounds or infected wound environments.
Why Choose This Product
Kendall AMD combines antimicrobial PHMB technology with polyurethane foam absorption to support simultaneous moisture and bacterial management. Its vertical wicking structure helps distribute fluid efficiently while maintaining dressing integrity.
The dressing is commonly used in both facility and home wound care settings where exudate control and antimicrobial support are important clinical goals.
