Biatain® Silicone Adhesive Foam Multishape 14x19.5cm - Box/5

Biatain® Silicone Adhesive Foam Multishape 14x19.5cm

Biatain ® Silicone is a soft, flexible and absorbent foam dressing with gentle silicone adhesive. It can be used on a broad range of exuding wounds making Biatain ® Silicone the obvious choice for moist wound healing of commonly occurring wounds.

Superior absorption due to unique 3D foam
When in contact with exudate the unique 3D foam structure of Biatain ® Silicone conforms closely to the wound bed for superior absorption - even under compression (3). The unique 3D foam structure absorbs the exudate vertically and together with the lock-away layer it locks away the fluid within its structure, still leaving the wound moist for optimal wound healing conditions. The fluid handling properties of Biatain® Silicone ensure control of exudate thus minimising risk of leakage and maceration.

Gentle and secure fit
The silicone adhesive layer provides a secure fit to keep the dressing in place while ensuring minimal pain upon removal (1,2). The soft and flexible design of Biatain® Silicone ensures a close fit to wound and body, and the foam pad at skin level makes Biatain® Silicone comfortable to wear – even under compression (2).

Intuitive use
Biatain® Silicone has a 3-piece non-touch opening for an easy and aseptic application.

Fewer dressing changes
Due to superior absorption, you can experience up to 50% reduction in dressing changes (3,4).

Product composition
