The Gentell Silicone Foam Bordered Dressing is a versatile primary or secondary wound dressing designed for chronic and acute wounds, including partial- and full-thickness wounds, superficial injuries, and second-degree burns. This dressing combines a soft silicone contact layer with an absorbent foam pad, providing exceptional comfort and protection for patients with fragile or sensitive skin. The silicone layer gently adheres to the skin without sticking to the wound bed, reducing pain during dressing changes while maintaining a moist environment to support natural healing.

Features & Benefits

• Gentle Silicone Adhesion: Ideal for patients with delicate or compromised skin. The soft silicone border adheres securely yet peels away gently, minimizing discomfort during dressing removal.
• Superior Exudate Control: Highly absorbent foam pad effectively captures and retains wound drainage to prevent maceration and strike-through.
• Maintains Moist Healing Environment: Promotes faster wound healing by balancing moisture levels while protecting against external contaminants.
• Minimizes Risk of Maceration: Silicone layer wicks fluid away from the wound and surrounding skin, keeping the area dry and healthy.
• Easy Application & Secure Fit: Self-adhesive bordered design ensures simple placement and reliable fixation, even on contoured body areas.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of wound types, from surgical and traumatic wounds to diabetic foot ulcers and burns.

How to Apply

1. Cleanse the wound with Gentell Wound Cleanser.
2. Gently dry the skin surrounding the wound area.
3. Remove and discard the protective plastic backing labeled "Silicone".
4. Apply the Gentell Silicone Foam Bordered Dressing by centering the pad over the wound.
5. Smooth the border edges to ensure full adhesion to the surrounding skin.
6. Change dressing daily or as directed by a physician.

Use and Application

Gentell Silicone Foam Bordered Dressing can be used as either a primary dressing directly over the wound or a secondary cover dressing over other therapeutic products. The absorbent foam layer provides effective exudate management, while the silicone interface protects fragile tissue from damage during dressing removal. Its bordered design ensures a secure and comfortable fit, even for patients with high mobility or on curved anatomical sites such as heels or sacral areas.
