Biatain Silicone Sacral is a multidirectional foam dressing designed to help absorb and manage exudate. Created to prevent skin breakdown during the wound healing process, this foam dressing can conform up to a depth of two cm and is compatible with prophylactic therapy recommendations to reduce pressure injuries.
Features
- Are able to hold onto thicker exudate.
- Can be worn underneath a compression bandage.
- Help lessen friction and shearing, which can contribute to tissue breakdown.
- Work to lessen moisture in the wound bed, creating an environment that facilitates healing.
- Prevent fluid from migrating to the surrounding skin, thanks to a vertical absorption pattern.
- Even out pressure across the entire area of the material, rather than concentrate it in one place.
- Reduce the number of gaps between the dressing and wound bed to prevent fluid and bacteria from pooling underneath and to lessen maceration and infection risks.
How Do Biatain Silicone Sacral Dressings Work?
Biatain Silicone Sacral dressings provide a secure yet still gentle fit. Once in place, the foam dressing creates a barrier against external factors that could stall the wound healing process or lead to infection.
Each dressing consists of a multi-layer design:
- A vapor-permeable top layer provides waterproof protection and creates a shield against bacteria.
- The tissue layer creates a microclimate for optimal wound healing.
- A highly absorbent mid-layer draws in and holds onto both wound exudate and skin moisture.
- 3DFit Technology allows Biatain Silicone Sacral dressings to conform to the wound bed.
- Perforated silicone adhesive helps moisture evaporate from the skin while securing the dressing in place.
