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.
