Biatain Silicone: Designed for different wound types and challenges
Not all wound dressings are the same. If the dressing does not conform to the wound bed and manage the exudate, these are some of the challenges that you might see.
)
Maceration
Exudate that leaks onto the periwound skin can lead to maceration.
)
Unhealthy periwound skin
Poor exudate management can lead to unhealthy periwound skin and the risk of infection.
Absorbs exudate vertically
Biatain Silicone is designed to absorb exudate vertically to reduce maceration and infection spread to wound edges and periwound skin. ¹
Traps and retains bacteria
The dressing traps and retains 99.98% of the bacteria.*** Biatain Silicone does this without the use of any active substances.
Biatain Silicone:
73% of wounds healed or were progressing towards healing in a median of just 22.5 days1
Biatain Silicone:
33% lower total costs† compared to a two-dressing†† regimen2
