Dimora Medical Launches MegaSorb Foam Dressing for Elderly Wound Care

New York – – September 29, 2026 -- Dimora Medical unveiled a silicone foam wound dressing built on its MegaSorbTM Dual-Action Absorption System, targeting moderate to heavy exudate wounds common among elderly patients with pressure ulcers and chronic wounds. The launch coincides with the 2026 United Nations International Day of Older Persons, observed under the theme "The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives."

MegaSorb foam absorbs up to 15 times its own weight in wound exudate

The dressing uses a high-porosity polymer with an open-cell structure reaching up to 90%, enabling it to lock in exudate within one second and reduce leakage and backflow risk. Dimora Medical positions the technology as a direct response to gaps in traditional wound dressings, which frequently fail to manage moderate to heavy exudate, causing maceration of surrounding skin and painful dressing changes.
