Frequently Asked Questions
What is this dressing designed for?
Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing with Border is designed to help manage wounds with moderate to heavy exudate.
The appropriate dressing will depend on the wound type, condition, location and amount of wound fluid. Please consult a healthcare professional if you are unsure whether this dressing is suitable.
What types of wounds may it be used for?
According to the manufacturer, it may be used for moderately to heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, neuropathic ulcers, arterial ulcers, skin tears, burns and surgical wounds.
Suitability should be assessed based on the individual wound and guidance from a healthcare professional.
Does this dressing have an adhesive border?
Yes. The dressing has a soft silicone adhesive border that helps secure it to dry skin surrounding the wound.
The silicone contact layer is designed to avoid sticking to the moist wound bed, helping reduce discomfort during dressing changes.
What level of wound exudate can it manage?
The dressing is designed to help manage moderate to heavy wound exudate.
Its multilayer construction helps disperse, absorb and retain wound fluid while supporting a moist wound environment.
Is the dressing waterproof?
Yes. The dressing has a waterproof and breathable polyurethane outer film that helps protect the wound from external liquids.
Care should still be taken to prevent water from entering around the edges of the dressing.
Is the dressing breathable?
Yes. The semi-permeable polyurethane outer film allows oxygen and water vapour to pass through while helping provide a barrier against external liquids.
Will the dressing stick to the wound?
The soft silicone contact layer is designed to adhere to dry surrounding skin without sticking to the moist wound bed.
This helps support gentler removal and may reduce discomfort and trauma during dressing changes.
How often should the dressing be changed?
The frequency of dressing changes depends on the wound condition, amount of exudate and instructions from a healthcare professional.
Replace the dressing when it becomes saturated, loose, displaced, contaminated or damaged.
How should I apply the dressing?
Clean and dry the skin surrounding the wound according to the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
Remove the protective backing, position the absorbent pad over the wound and gently smooth the silicone border onto the surrounding dry skin. Avoid stretching the dressing during application.
How should I remove the dressing?
Gently lift one edge of the silicone border and slowly peel the dressing away from the skin.
Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional, especially if the dressing is being used on fragile or sensitive skin.
Can the dressing be cut?
This product has an adhesive silicone border and is intended to be used in its original bordered shape.
Cutting the dressing may affect the adhesive border, absorbent construction and protective outer film. Choose a suitable size or consult a healthcare professional if a different shape is required.
What is the size of the dressing?
The dressing measures 4 × 4 inch, equivalent to approximately 10 × 10 cm.
The overall dressing size includes the silicone adhesive border surrounding the absorbent wound pad.
Is each dressing sterile?

Do not use the dressing if the packaging is damaged, already open or past its expiry date.
