Product benefits

Gentle to wound bed

The perforated silicone wound contact layer prevents adherence to newly formed tissue, protects wound margins and ensures atraumatic, pain-reduced dressing changes.^{1, 2, 3, 4}

Water-repellent and breathable backing

The outer film is bacteria proof, water-repellent and ensures proper fluid evaporation for changing stages of saturation.

Can be cut to size

The dressing can also be cut to size, making it as comfortable for the patient as possible.

Reliable exudate management

The vertical absorption makes sure exudate is taken up and kept inside the dressing – even under compression. Superabsorbent stripes additionally support the absorption capacity.¹
