Square Foam Dressings with Adhesive Border (3 Pack)

These waterproof foam dressings are a favorite among nurses and patients alike – they combine the functionality of gauze with a padded barrier to protect your skin from damage and speed up wound healing. While there are many reasons you may need this in your toolkit during treatment, here's one you may not be aware of: One of the unexpected side effects of lying in bed for long periods of time during treatment is skin irritation. While it's most common on the tailbone, it can also occur on heels, elbows, backs of shoulders, and the back of the head. In the event that sores or wound occur, a proper dressing (to prevent further irritation or even infection) is key.
