It's used to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds at risk of infection, such as diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, and surgical wounds. The silver provides antimicrobial protection while the foam absorbs fluid and protects fragile tissue during changes.
Does the dressing stick to the wound?
▾
No, it features a non-adhesive silicone wound contact layer that minimizes trauma during removal. It stays in place with a secondary bandage but doesn't adhere to the wound bed, making changes less painful.
How often should the dressing be changed?
▾
Change every 1 to 3 days depending on exudate levels and clinical condition. Heavily draining wounds may require more frequent changes, while cleaner wounds can extend wear time under medical guidance.
