Warehouse Clearance 365 Silicone Foam Dressings (20 X 20 Cm) - Pack Of 10 For Home [C5H6klEK]

365 Silicone Foam Wound Dressing is a sterile self adhesive dressing to manage moderately exuding wounds whilst minimising pain and skin/wound trauma during dressing changes. The hydrophobic adhesive layer enables the dressing to adhere to the wound area without sticking to newly formed wound healing granulation tissue. Dressing can be easily repositioned on application or after visual inspection of the wound. The wound contact layer allows the passage of wound exudate into the foam whilst protecting the wound bed. The hydrophilic polyurethane foam locks away exudate and minimises the risk of wound/peri-wound maceration.The thin semi-permable film backing layer of the dressing protects the wound from external contaminants and minimises the risk of strike through from the wound onto bedding or clothes. 365 Silicone Foam Dressings maintain a moist wound environment for optimal wound healing.
