SilFoam Plus

Silicone Foam Border Dressing

The Silicone Foam dressing is an absorbent, self-adherent, soft silicone wound dressing. It consists of a silicone wound contact layer, a polyurethane foam and superabsorbent fiber composite pad with high absorption capacity as well as an outer layer comprised of a vapor-permeable, viral and bacterial-resistant polyurethane (PU) film. The silicone and polyurethane film extends beyond the perimeter of the composite pad to form an adhesive border. The silicone wound contact layer is perforated, and is protected by a folded, transparent, embossed LDPE liner. The dressing is presented in a paper/poly pouch for single use and is supplied EtO sterile.

Typical Application
