NEW YORK, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On June 1, Dimora Medical, a continuous innovator in high-end medical care supplies, proudly participated as a sponsor in the HS Connect 5K Walk. This event served not only as a fundraising effort but also as an opportunity for education about Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).
Dimora Medical HS Connect 5k Walk event
Organized by HS Connect, a patient-centered nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals impacted by Hidradenitis Suppurativa, the event aimed to shine a light on the reality of living with this chronic and often misunderstood condition. HS is a painful, inflammatory skin disorder characterized by recurring abscesses and lesions that frequently result in open wounds, scarring, and significant physical and emotional distress. While estimates vary, the HS Foundation suggests that approximately 1-2% of the U.S. population may be affected, though actual prevalence could range between 0.1% and 1%.
Despite its severity, treatment options for HS remain limited. Only three therapies have received FDA approval, and although off-label options are used to manage the disease, comprehensive care often depends on ongoing symptom management and wound care. For patients, maintaining quality of life requires not just medical intervention, but also access to appropriate wound treatment solutions that reduce discomfort and promote healing.
Dimora Medical’s advanced silicone foam dressing solutions address this need of the HS community. The Dimora Silicone Foam Dressing with Border, for example, has been developed with both clinical performance and patient comfort in mind, particularly for individuals coping with the types of lesions and drainage associated with HS flare-ups.
This silicone foam dressing incorporates a five-layer material design capable of absorbing up to 15 times its weight in wound fluid. This feature ensures a consistently moist environment around the wound site, which is crucial for accelerating the healing process and reducing the frequency of dressing changes. At the same time, it creates a physical barrier that shields the wound from external contaminants.
Key to the dressing’s effectiveness is the A+ medical-grade hypoallergenic silicone contact layer, which adheres securely to dry skin while avoiding adhesion to moist wounds. This balance minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes, a frequent concern for HS patients. Additionally, the semi-permeable polyurethane film layer provides waterproof yet breathable protection, allowing oxygen and vapor transmission while preventing bacterial invasion.
Further enhancing its efficacy, the internal foam structure features a thick absorbent core, a SAF layer that locks in the fluid to prevent maceration, and a nonwoven layer that evenly disperses exudate. The result is a dressing that significantly outperforms traditional gauze bandages, reducing the burden of constant replacement and enabling patients to regain a sense of daily normalcy.
As part of its mission towards enhancing the quality of life through effective wound management solutions tailored specifically for those suffering from chronic conditions such as Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Dimora Medical remains dedicated not only through product innovation but also via active participation within communities advocating awareness around these often-misunderstood illnesses.
