KerraFoam Gentle Border Sacral Dressing
KerraFoam Gentle Border Sacral Dressing is a multilayer silicone-bordered foam dressing designed specifically for sacral and coccyx pressure injuries. It provides advanced exudate management while protecting fragile skin in high-friction anatomical areas.
The sacral shape is engineered to conform to the buttock and natal cleft region, helping maintain dressing stability in challenging positioning environments common in both hospital and home care settings.
Key Features
- Silicone gentle adhesive border for secure but atraumatic fixation
- Multilayer hydrocellular foam core for high exudate absorption
- Anatomically shaped sacral design for improved fit and stability
- Wicking layer distributes fluid across dressing surface
- Lock-away core helps retain exudate within foam structure
- Breathable outer film provides bacterial and fluid barrier
- Reduces friction and shear in sacral pressure zones
- Supports extended wear time under clinical supervision
Quick Summary
- Used for sacral and coccyx pressure injuries
- Suitable for moderate to heavy exudating wounds
- Silicone border allows gentle adhesion and repositioning
- Designed for high-risk pressure areas with moisture control needs
What Is This Product?
This dressing is a multilayer hydrocellular foam system with a silicone adhesive border and sacral-specific shape. It is designed to manage wound exudate while reducing pressure, shear, and friction forces in the sacral region.
The internal foam structure absorbs fluid and redistributes it across the dressing to reduce localized saturation and help maintain a balanced wound environment.
Indications / Wound Types
- Sacral pressure injuries (Stage I–IV as clinically appropriate)
- Coccyx pressure ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers in sacral region
- Venous ulcers affecting lower back/buttock region
- Post-surgical sacral wounds
- Traumatic wounds in sacral area
- Moderate to heavy exuding wounds
How It Works
Exudate is absorbed through a multilayer foam structure where it is distributed horizontally and vertically within the dressing. This prevents fluid pooling at the wound bed and reduces maceration risk to surrounding skin.
The silicone border adheres gently to intact skin while minimizing trauma during dressing changes and allowing repositioning when clinically required.
Application Instructions
- Cleanse wound according to clinical protocol
- Dry surrounding skin thoroughly
- Position sacral dressing to fully cover wound area
- Apply silicone border without stretching
- Ensure full seal around sacral contours
Dressing Change Guidance
Change frequency depends on wound exudate level and clinical assessment. Dressing should be replaced when absorption capacity is reached, leakage is observed, or adhesion is compromised.
May be used in both home care and healthcare facility pressure injury protocols under clinical supervision.
Why Choose This Product
KerraFoam Gentle Border Sacral Dressing combines anatomical design with advanced multilayer foam absorption and silicone border adhesion. It is specifically engineered for sacral pressure injury environments where moisture control, shear reduction, and dressing stability are critical.
Its microclimate management system supports consistent wound protection in high-risk immobility patients.
