Medline Optifoam® Non-Adhesive Heel Foam Dressing
Medline Optifoam Non-Adhesive Heel Foam Dressing is a professional wound care dressing designed specifically for the heel. Its anatomical shape provides targeted coverage around this difficult-to-dress area while helping absorb exudate, cushion vulnerable tissue and support a moist wound healing environment.
Unlike bordered adhesive dressings, this model does not contain an adhesive border. It can therefore be positioned directly over the treatment area and secured using an appropriate secondary dressing, bandage or fixation method selected by the healthcare professional.
The non-adhesive construction can be useful for patients with delicate or fragile surrounding skin, or in clinical situations where customized fixation is preferred.
Anatomical Heel Shape
The specialized heel shape helps the dressing conform around the back and sides of the heel. This design provides more appropriate coverage than a standard square dressing and can help reduce unnecessary folding or trimming.
Its anatomical construction makes it suitable for professional heel wound management in podiatry clinics, wound care centres, hospitals, long-term care facilities and home healthcare environments.
Absorbent Foam Construction
The foam layer helps manage wound exudate while providing soft cushioning over vulnerable tissue. Effective exudate management supports the maintenance of an appropriate wound environment and helps protect the surrounding skin from excess moisture.
The dressing should be selected according to the wound’s condition, drainage level and applicable clinical protocol.
Non-Adhesive Design
Because the dressing is non-adhesive, healthcare professionals can choose a fixation method adapted to the patient and treatment area.
Possible secondary fixation products may include:
- conforming bandages;
- elastic bandages;
- medical tape;
- tubular retention products;
- other secondary dressings approved by the treating professional.
The fixation method should hold the dressing securely without creating excessive pressure or restricting circulation.

- heel wounds;

- diabetic foot care;
