A self-adherent absorbent dressing with a Silfix® soft silicone wound contact layer and border. The dressing has a hydrophilic foam absorbent pad with an excellent fluid handling property.

The soft silicone will adhere to surrounding dry skin but not to a moist wound and provides gentle release. This is an atraumatic dressing which means it is designed to minimise the pain and trauma associated with dressing change.

The clear backing is breathable, prevents strike through and protects the wound. The wound pad is visible allowing observation of the absorbent pad thereby allowing optimisation of dressing change frequency.
