Soft silicone wound contact layer 5 cm X 7 cm. A wound contact layer made from polyester mesh and coated with Silfix soft silicone. Silflex is designed to gently adhere to the skin surrounding a wound and not to the wound bed. This is an atraumatic dressing designed to minimise the pain and trauma associated with dressing change. The dressing’s large perforations allow for the passage of exudate and irrigation of wound.
A wound covering typically in the form of a porous material (e.g., a fine mesh) impregnated/coated with a substance (e.g., petrolatum, silicone) or made of a material that prevents adherence to the wound bed, thereby decreasing the potential for trauma to the wound and surrounding skin upon removal; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. Its pores permit the drainage of exudates from, and application of medication to, the wound. It may be used with other wound-care products for chronic and postoperative wounds, burns, skin graft fixation/cultured-cell carrier, cuts, or abrasions; it is neither a dedicated burn dressing nor gauze. This is a single-use device.
