Product description
Biatain® Silicone Ag with 3DFit Technology conforms into the wound bed, absorbing vertically and retaining exudate:
- Conforms into the wound bed to minimize creation of dead space where exudate can pool and bacteria and microbes can grow
- Absorbs vertically and retains exudate to reduce leakage and maceration of the surrounding skin, supporting healthy wound edges and periwound skin
- Soft and flexible materials - to conform to the body and skin contours
- Gentle silicone adhesion - for minimal pain upon removal
Usage
Biatain® Silicone Ag is a soft and conformable polyurethane foam dressing with silver, a semi-permeable, bacteria- and waterproof top film and a soft silicone adhesive layer.
Biatain® Silicone Ag is indicated for a wide range of low to high exuding chronic and acute wounds, including leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, superficial and partial thickness burns, donor sites, and, traumatic and post-operative wounds. It can be used in combination with compression therapy and may be left in place for up to 7 days.
