The best absorbency level for a foam dressing depends on the amount of exudate produced by the wound. High-absorbency dressings are ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy drainage, as they help keep the wound bed dry and prevent maceration of surrounding skin. For example, the Mepilex Border Sacrum Wound Dressing is designed to absorb moderate to high amounts of exudate, making it suitable for sacral ulcers and similar wounds. The Hydrofera Blue Ready-Transfer Foam Dressing also efficiently manages exudate transfer. With various levels of absorbency available, you can match the dressing to the wound’s drainage for optimal healing.
