• Highly conformable foam dressing with gentle silicone adhesive that can be lifted up and reapplied
• Comfort and flexibility with a low-profile design and a moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) that adjusts to the level of fluid and improves breathability
• Design helps to collectively displace pressure when used with a pressure injury prevention protocol
