Absorbent foam dressing with soft silicone wound contact layer and border, 20 cm X 20 cm. A self adherent absorbent dressing with a Silfix soft silicone wound contact layer and border. The dressing has a hydrophilic foam absorbent pad with high fluid handling capability. The soft silicone will adhere to surrounding dry skin but not to a wet wound. This is an atraumatic dressing which means it is designed to minimise the pain and trauma associated with dressing change. The film backing is breathable and prevents strike through.
A wound covering typically in the form of a multi-layered pad having a material or substance on its skin-contact surface (e.g., silicone gel), or designed to be soaked in saline prior to application, to prevent adherence to the wound bed thereby decreasing wound trauma potential; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. It is typically used to absorb wound blood/exudates while protecting the wound from external contamination and maintaining a moist internal environment. It may be used as a primary or secondary dressing to treat chronic and postoperative wounds, burns, ulcers, abrasions, cuts, or puncture sites; it is not a dedicated burn dressing. This is a single-use device.
