Our Silicone foam is designed to manage moderately exuding wounds whilst minimizing pain and trauma at dressing change. The hydrophobic layer of soft silicone enables the dressing to adhere to the patient without sticking to newly formed granulation tissue. The wound contact layer is perforated with holes which enables the passage of exudate into the foam whitest protecting the wound bed. The thin layer of polyurethane foam absorbs and retains exudate preventing maceration of peri-wound skin.

Product features

• Soft and conformable
• Absorbs and retains exudate.
• Low friction thin film backing helps to prevent dressing lift.
• Semi-permeable film backing protects the wound agaisnt external contaminants and strike through onto bedding or clothes.
