Vitale Silicone Super-Absorbent Foam Dressings deliver advanced wound care with maximum absorbency, gentle adhesion, and reliable protection. Designed with a multi-layered construction, these dressings manage light to heavy exudate effectively, maintaining an optimal moist environment for faster healing. The soft, non-adherent silicone layer ensures trauma-free removal, while the waterproof, vapor-permeable outer film shields wounds from external contaminants. Ideal for pressure ulcers, diabetic wounds, surgical sites, and other complex wounds, Vitale dressings combine comfort and performance for both patients and healthcare providers.

Features & Benefits

• Highly Absorbent: Super-absorbent fiber pad captures and retains exudate, maintaining a moist wound environment to support faster healing.
• Non-Adherent Silicone Layer: Provides gentle adhesion for painless removal and minimizes tissue trauma, ideal for sensitive or fragile skin.
• Moisture and Bacteria Barrier: Waterproof, vapor-permeable outer film protects wounds from external contaminants while allowing moisture vapor to escape, reducing maceration risk.
• Flexible and Conforming: Soft silicone and an adaptable design conform to body contours for a comfortable fit across various wound sites.
• Multi-Functional: Can be used as a primary dressing in direct contact with the wound bed or as a secondary cover over another primary dressing or wound filler.
• Easy Application: Three-section release film simplifies positioning and application, making dressing changes convenient for caregivers.

Vitale Silicone Super-Absorbent Dressings have 3 layers:

1. The waterproof yet vapor-permeable outer film is gentle and conformable for fragile skin.
2. An absorbent pad with two components: a polyurethane foam and a layer of super-absorbent fibers, which is effective in regulating wound exudates for an ideal moist wound environment.
3. A soft silicone wound contact layer that is conformable for intimate skin contact. The silicone layer provides flexible adhesion and passes exudates through to the absorbent layer, controlling excess moisture.

Vitale Silicone Super Absorbent Dressings are sterilized by ethylene oxide and must not be resterilized. The silicone adhesive covers the entire wound or covers the primary dressing surface & allows the center of the dressing to gently adhere to the wound or the primary dressing. The border attaches firmly yet gently to the peri-wound tissue, helping prevent breakdown of surrounding tissue. The silicone is elastic & flexible so that the dressing may be gently peeled back for inspection.

How To Apply

1. Clean and rinse the wound per the usual protocol. Wound Cleanser Spray helps condition & prepare the wound bed for healing.
2. Using sterile technique, take the dressing out of the package & remove the center release film, exposing the soft silicone layer.
3. Place the dressing on the moist wound, centering & positioning the pad on the wound. The soft silicone contact layer is so flexible that it may be adhered directly to the wound bed.
4. When used as a secondary dressing, apply a primary dressing or wound filler to the wound bed per that product's Instructions for Use. Then apply the Vitale Silicone Dressings by removing the center release film & applying to the center of the wound.
5. Remove the border release film & adhere to peri-wound tissue. Do not stretch the dressing while applying.
6. If the absorbent pad becomes saturated, exudates will leak out the side of the absorbent pad and may be observed in the border. When this occurs, the dressing should be changed.
7. Change dressing as directed, when the absorbent pad is saturated, or at least every 7 days.
