MedVance Silicone Foam Dressings are highly absorbent, self-adherent foam dressings consisting of polyurethane (PU) foam coated with a soft, hypoallergenic silicone adhesive and breathable polyurethane film. The highly absorbent foam pad absorbs large amounts of wound exudate and the soft silicone adhesive acts as a gentle wound contact layer which sticks to surrounding skin but not to the wound bed. By minimizing epithelia stripping during removal and change, MedVance dressings reduce discomfort and increase patient compliance. The breathable PU film allows the passage of oxygen and water vapor to extend wear time while providing a moist wound healing environment. MedVance Silicone Foam Dressings are available in both bordered and non-bordered formats.

Features

• Easy to apply and remove.
• Extensible materials conform to body contours and provide maximum patient comfort.
• Highly absorbent foam manages moderate to heavy exudate while providing a moist wound healing environment.
• Semi-permeable, polyurethane outer layer acts a liquid barrier while allowing the transmission of oxygen and water vapor to maintain a moist wound environment.
• Soft and hypoallergenic silicone adhesive acts as a gentle wound contact layer that sticks to intact surrounding skin but not to the wound bed, preventing Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injury (MARSI) and minimizing pain during dressing removal and change.
