About EV14800000-Box Hartmann-Conco Proximel Silicone Dressing, with Border, Heel
What is EV14800000-Box Hartmann-Conco Proximel Silicone Dressing, with Border, Heel?
The EV14800000-Box Hartmann-Conco Proximel Silicone Dressing, with Border, Heel is a single-use, silicone-based wound cover engineered for delicate heel tissue. Its flexible border creates a seal that reduces shear forces while maintaining a moist environment that promotes faster granulation. The dressing is sterile, latex-free, and conforms to the contour of the heel, making it suitable for both acute and chronic wounds. The dressing's silicone matrix is engineered to be semi-permeable, allowing excess exudate to escape while protecting the wound from external contaminants.
Together, these attributes create a barrier that supports the natural healing cascade without adhering to fragile tissue.
Key features
- Silicone border — gentle adhesion that can be removed without trauma.
- Heel contour — pre-shaped to fit the curvature of the heel for optimal coverage.
- Moisture-balanced — maintains a moist wound bed to accelerate healing.
- Latex-free — safe for patients with latex sensitivities.
- Sterile packaging — each dressing is individually sealed to prevent contamination.
- Easy removal — can be changed without pain or skin stripping.
- Cost-effective — priced at $19.78 for a single unit, offering clinical value.
Who is EV14800000-Box Hartmann-Conco Proximel Silicone Dressing, with Border, Heel for?
This dressing is aimed at patients with diabetic foot complications, post-operative heel incisions, pressure-related ulcers, and anyone requiring a non-adhesive, protective cover for heel wounds. It is also suitable for elderly patients who have reduced skin elasticity and are prone to pressure injuries. Healthcare professionals such as podiatrists, wound-care nurses, and surgeons benefit from its ease of use and reliable performance in high-risk foot care.
How does EV14800000-Box Hartmann-Conco Proximel Silicone Dressing, with Border, Heel compare?
Compared with standard gauze or adhesive film dressings, the Proximel silicone dressing offers superior conformability and painless removal. Unlike hydrocolloid pads, it does not leave a residue and can be changed more frequently without disrupting the wound. When used in a multi-layer dressing system, the Proximel silicone layer can be paired with absorbent pads to manage higher exudate volumes. In the heel-specific category, its pre-shaped border reduces the need for custom trimming, saving time and reducing error.
Best use cases
- →Diabetic foot ulcer on the heel
- →Post-surgical incision after heel fracture repair
- →Pressure ulcer stage II on heel
- →Partial thickness burn on heel area
Is Hartmann-Conco Proximel Silicone Dressing, with Border, Heel right for you?
The Proximel silicone dressing is best for clinicians treating heel wounds in diabetic or elderly patients, as well as for home-care caregivers managing post-operative incisions. It requires basic wound-dressing skills—simply clean the area, apply the dressing, and secure it. Alternatives include standard gauze, adhesive film, or hydrocolloid pads, but those lack the gentle silicone border and heel-specific shape. Choose this product when painless removal and a moist environment are priorities.
How it compares: Compared with generic gauze, adhesive films, and hydrocolloid pads, this heel-specific silicone dressing offers a pre-shaped border, painless removal, and superior moisture balance, making it a more targeted solution for delicate heel wounds. It also reduces the risk of skin stripping and eliminates the need for custom trimming, which can save clinical time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wounds is the Proximel silicone dressing designed for?
▾
The Proximel silicone dressing is intended for superficial to partial-thickness wounds located on the heel, including diabetic foot ulcers, post-surgical incisions, pressure injuries, and minor burns. Its silicone border protects fragile skin while maintaining a moist environment that supports granulation tissue formation. Because it is latex-free and sterile, it is safe for most patients with skin sensitivities.
Does the dressing require special storage conditions?
▾
The Proximel silicone dressing should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the sealed packages intact until use to maintain sterility. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 30°C (59°F-86°F). Do not expose the dressing to moisture before opening, as this could compromise its barrier properties.
How often should the dressing be changed?
▾
Change frequency depends on wound exudate levels and clinical assessment, but generally the Proximel silicone dressing can be left in place for 3 to 7 days. If the dressing becomes saturated, dislodged, or the wound shows signs of infection, it should be removed and replaced promptly. Always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance.
Is the dressing suitable for patients with latex allergies?
▾
Yes, the Proximel silicone dressing is latex-free and hypoallergenic, making it appropriate for patients who have documented latex sensitivities. The silicone border provides adhesion without the need for latex-based adhesives, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. However, always verify the full ingredient list with the manufacturer if a patient has multiple material sensitivities.
Can the dressing be used in a multi-layer wound care system?
▾
The Proximel silicone dressing can serve as the topmost layer in a multi-layer wound care regimen, providing a non-adherent barrier while underlying absorbent pads manage exudate. Its semi-permeable silicone film allows vapor transmission, complementing secondary dressings that offer additional cushioning or antimicrobial protection. Ensure each layer is compatible and properly secured.
