Biatain Silicone Fit is a 5-layer bordered silicone foam dressing designed for both pressure injury prevention and wound treatment. Matches the shape and depth of the wound bed up to 2cm deep, leaving minimal dead space where exudate can pool and helping to minimize the risk of infection. Also embraces the body's natural form with a gentle border for patient comfort and is optimized to stay in place during wear.

Features

• Stays on for at least five reapplications over three days to help prevent pressure injuries and skin damage
• Includes an optimized border design to minimize edge rolling during application and reapplication
• Reduces friction and shear forces and redistributes pressure
• Designed with tapered edges as well as twin tips and slits for flexibility and improved adhesion
• Matches the shape and depth of the wound up to 2cm, minimizing exudate pooling and lowering the risk of infection and maceration
• Vertically absorbs and retains exudate, even under compression, reducing the risk of leakage and maceration

Indications

Biatain Silicone Fit is intended for moist wound healing and exudate management and may also be used as part of pressure injury prevention therapy.

Biatain Silicone Fit:

• Is indicated for a wide range of low- to highly exuding wounds. This includes acute wounds such as donor sites, post-operative wounds and traumatic wounds; and chronic wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and non-infected diabetic foot ulcers.
• May be used to prevent post-operative blistering.
• May be used as part of prophylactic therapy to prevent skin damage such as pressure injuries.

Warnings and Precautions

• Do not re-use the single use product as cross contamination may occur, potentially leading to infection.
• Reprocessing, washing, disinfection and/or resterilization may compromise product characteristics, causing additional risk of physical harm or infection to the user.
• A health care professional should frequently inspect and manage infected wounds, diabetic wounds and wounds which are solely or partially caused by arterial insufficiency, in accordance with local guidelines.
• Do not use the product with oxidizing solutions e.g. hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide solutions, as this may cause product degeneration which may lead to deterioration of the wound. Ensure that any other evaporating solution is completely dried off before applying the product.
• The use of dressings as part of pressure injury prevention therapy does not preclude the need to continue to develop and follow a comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention protocol, i.e. support surfaces, positioning, nutrition, hydration, skin care, mobility and regular controls.
• Do not cut the foam part of the product as this may lead to wound deterioration due to product residues left in the wound.
• Do not use if package is damaged, as sterility of the product may have been compromised, potentially leading to infection.
• Keep away from sunlight as it may impact product performance which may lead to maceration.
