Our wound care portfolio offers products that assist healthcare professionals and patients with a complete wound healing cycle: from start to finish. We work with patients and healthcare professionals in developing new wound care solutions and we develop products that simplify procedures, increase compliance and ensure consistency of care. We work together to achieve the same goal; accelerate healing, provide optimal comfort and simplify wound care.
Our products solutions support management of a broad range of low to highly exuding wounds, either non-infected wounds, infected wounds or painful wounds
Non-Infected Wounds

Understand different dressing types
The Gap Challenge
With conventional foam dressings, a gap can form between the wound bed and the dressing. This allows exudate pooling, which may lead to the risk of infection, and to a delay in wound healing.6,7,8 Biatain Silicone is a conforming dressing with 3DFit® Technology that fills the gap and reduces exudate pooling to promote optimal healing conditions.
Evidence suggest that the use of Biatain Silicone in wounds up to 2cm in depth instead of a filler and secondary dressing can reduce unit cost spend by 49-51% 9,10
Simplifying wound care for you
How to choose the best dressing
- Consider the status of the wound (healing, deteriorating, infected, etc.) and estimated frequency of dressing changes
- Protect the wound edge and periwound skin from trauma and maceration
- The dressing should be able to absorb and retain exudate
- When local infections are present consider a dressing with an active
component (i.e. silver, honey, iodine, PHMB) - Consider patient comfort, lifestyle, and ability for self care
Superficial
Biatain Silicone absorbs vertically and conforms to the wound bed to reduce exudate pooling and reduce the risk of maceration to the wound edge and periwound skin.
0-2cm in depth
Biatain Silicone absorbs vertically and conforms to the wound bed to reduce exudate pooling and reduce the risk of maceration to the wound edge and periwound skin.
> 2cm in depth
Fill the wound bed loosely with Biatain Fiber to protect the wound bed. Biatain Silicone can be used as the secondary dressing. Biatain Silicone absorbs vertically and protects the wound egde and periwound skin.
Undermining & Tunneling
Fill the wound loosely to protect the wound bed and cover undermined areas. Biatain Silicone can be used as the secondary dressing. Biatain Silicone absorbs vertically and protects the wound edge and periwound skin.
