Description of silicone wound dressing:

Silicone foam dressing is an absorbent, atraumatic dressing made from absorbent core and silicone gel. The wound contact surface of Silicone foam dressing is coated with a layer of soft silicone gel that does not stick to the surface of a wound or cause trauma to delicate new tissue upon removal. This soft silicone layer is also slightly tacky, which facilitates application and retention of the dressing to intact skin, but does not cause epidermal stripping or pain on removal. The outer surface of the product is bonded to a vapor-permeable polyurethane membrane, which acts as a prevention to liquid and microorganisms.

Method of use:

• Make sure the wound area is clean and dry before using dressing.
• A dressing should be selected that overlaps the wound margin by at least two centimeters.
• Remove the release film before use and adhesive the dressing on the wound area.
• If required, silicone foam dressing without border may be cut to size or shape.

Frequency of change:

The interval between changes will normally be determined by the degree of exudate produced. The dressing may be left up to 7 days. It is necessary to change the dressing whenever good wound care practice dictates.
