Traditional dressings may not manage exudate effectively under compression, which can result in maceration and damage of the fragile periwound skin
60-70% of wounds are surrounded by fragile periwound skin.1 Problems with extra fragile periwound skin may delay healing and cause wound enlargement, pain and discomfort. The amount of exudate present is an important risk factor for periwound skin damage, as greater moisture exposure reduces skin barrier function and increases the risk of skin breakdown and maceration.
Usage
Biatain Silicone Non-Border is indicated for a wide range of low- to highly exuding wounds in patients 40 kg and above. This includes acute wounds such as donor sites, post-operative wounds and traumatic wounds; and chronic wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and non-infected diabetic foot ulcers. It is relevant for use in combination with compression therapy and may be left in place for up to 7 days.
Minimise risk of leakage and maceration with Biatain Silicone Non-Border
Biatain Silicone Non-Border with 3DFit Technology ensures high absorption and retention of exudate under compression to reduce the risk of maceration and to protect the extra fragile periwound skin. This ensures an optimal wound healing environment, leading to faster healing. The dressing delivers high patient comfort due to the soft and flexible materials, and the gentle silicone adhesive minimises pain and damage to the wound edges and periwound skin upon removal.
