SilFoam Plus - Preliminary

Silicone Foam Border Dressing

The Silicone Foam dressing is an absorbent, self-adherent, soft silicone wound dressing. It comprises a silicone wound contact layer, a polyurethane foam and superabsorbent fiber composite pad with high absorption capacity and a vapor-permeable, viral and bacteria-resistant polyurethane (PU) film outer layer. The silicone and polyurethane film extends beyond the perimeter of the composite pad to form an adhesive border. The silicone wound contact layer is perforated and is protected by a folded, transparent, embossed LDPE liner. The dressing is presented in a paper/poly pouch for single use and is supplied EtO sterile.
