Cutimed Siltec Plus is a sterile, silicone-coated absorbent polyurethane foam dressing featuring superabsorbent stripes for enhanced fluid management. Designed for wounds with low to high exudate, it offers gentle adherence to the periwound skin while protecting the wound bed and new tissue. The "Plus" version provides higher adhesion within the Siltec range, ensuring secure placement without compromising patient comfort. Its perforated silicone wound contact layer prevents trauma during dressing changes while maintaining a moist healing environment.
