Old Categories: Dressings: Soft Silicone Dressing

According to a recent European Wound Management Association survey, preventing trauma was ranked as the most important factor at dressing change. Pain prevention was second.

Advancis Medical has developed Silfix® Technology using soft silicone, which provides an optimum level of adhesion with gentle release from a wound and the surrounding skin.

• Soft silicone is hydrophobic and does not stick to a moist wound, only the surrounding dry skin.
• An ideal moist environment for wounds which is essential to healing.
• Atraumatic: reduce damage to newly formed granulating tissue or epithelial cells. 
• Do not loose adhesion after initial application, unlike most adhesive dressings on the market. This means the health care giver is able to reposition and change dressings without causing additional pain.
• Provides good absorption of exudate
• A barrier to protect against secondary infection (except Silflex)
• Is non-toxic
• Is non-allergenic or sensitising
• Does not shed loose material into wound
• Conforms to anatomical contours
• Resists tearing
• Is non-flammable
• Its properties remain constant in a range of temperatures and humidity
• Has a long shelf life and is not bulky
• Is cost effective

Kelo-cote®

Kelo-cote® is a patented topical silicone gel for the management and prevention of abnormal scars in the form of hypertrophic scars and keloids. Kelo-cote® is unique because while it applies as a gel or spray, it transforms into true silicone sheeting on the skin. “[Kelo-Cote® formulation] is appealing because no fixation is required; it is invisible when dry; and sun blocks, makeup, or both can be applied in combination. These features suggest that [Kelo-Cote® formulation] could currently be the most recommendable agent for scar treatment, especially in visible areas.” Signorini M, Clementoni MT.
