How Does VERSAFOAM® Work?
VERSAFOAM is in a liquid state while in its pressurized container. The liquid turns into foam when released through an aerosol valve. The unique properties of VERSAFOAM facilitate the movement of a medication across the skin’s protective barrier, the stratum corneum.1
The Absorption Characteristics of Medications Delivered in VERSAFOAM-HF™

2. Rapidly drives the medication into the skin.
3. Delivers the medication to the target site.
4. Can deliver medication to the target site at multiple body locations, despite variations in the thickness of the stratum corneum.
