Conforms to the wound bed
True conformability ensures close contact to the wound bed.

Absorbs vertically
77% higher fluid handling capacity for longer weartime¹.

Retains exudate
and 99.98% of bacteria².

Product composition
Biatain^® Silicone is a soft and conformable polyurethane foam dressing with a semi-permeable, bacteria- and waterproof top film, a lock-away layer and a soft silicone adhesive layer.

Usage
Biatain^® Silicone is indicated for a wide range of exuding chronic and acute wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, non-infected diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, postoperative wounds and traumatic wounds (e.g. skin abrasions, skin tears, cuts). It can be used in combination with compression therapy and may be left in place for up to 7 days.

Key benefits

True conformability ensures close contact with the wound bed to reduce exudate pooling for optimal wound healing conditions.

Microcapillaries act to absorb exudate vertically and create optimal healing conditions with 77% higher fluid handling capacity for longer wear time.

Retains exudate and traps 99.98% of bacteria even under compression, reducing exudate pooling and thereby the risk of maceration and infection.
