Description
Kendall™ AMD FOAM DRESS is an advanced wound care solution designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds, particularly those at risk of infection. This highly absorbent dressing features a unique polyurethane foam structure, impregnated with 0.5% polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), providing robust antimicrobial protection against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including bacteria and fungi.
Key Features
- Antimicrobial Efficacy: The inclusion of PHMB offers long-lasting antimicrobial action, effective for up to seven days, reducing the risk of infection without promoting resistance.
- Superior Absorption: The open-cell, honeycomb-structured foam rapidly absorbs and retains exudate, maintaining an optimal moist environment for wound healing while minimizing skin maceration.
- Non-Adherent Design: Minimizes trauma during dressing changes, as the foam does not adhere to the wound, leaving no residue behind.
- Comfort and Conformability: Soft and flexible, the dressing conforms easily to various wound contours, enhancing patient comfort.
Versatile Formats
Available in multiple formats, Kendall™ AMD FOAM DRESS can be tailored to specific wound care needs. Options include standard double-sided foam, versions with a polyurethane backsheet to prevent strikethrough, adhesive bordered variants, and specialized fenestrated and disc designs for use around device exit sites such as catheters and tracheostomy.
Indications for Use
Ideal for a wide range of wound types, including:
- Pressure ulcers
- Venous stasis ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Trauma wounds
- Post-surgical incisions
The dressing can serve as either a primary or secondary dressing, adaptable to the wound's drainage level.
Application Instructions
To ensure effective use, cleanse the wound thoroughly before application. The dressing should be cut to size, allowing a 5 cm margin around the wound, and applied with the white side facing the wound. Non-adhesive versions require securing with a secondary dressing. It is crucial to prevent the dressing from drying out; if necessary, moisten with saline or sterile water before removal.

Kendall™ AMD FOAM DRESS is offered in various sizes to accommodate different wound dimensions, including:
- 2" x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm)
- 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm)
- 6" x 6" (15 cm x 15 cm)
Thicker options and specialized shapes are also available for specific clinical needs.
Additional Benefits
The dressing is hypoallergenic, sterile, and suitable for both paediatric and adult patients. It leaves no fibers or residues, ensuring gentle removal and minimal disruption to the healing process. With no significant adverse effects reported, Kendall™ AMD FOAM DRESS stands out as a reliable choice in advanced wound management.
