Designed and tested to protect against skin breakdown

Biatain Silicone Sacral and Multishape dressings may be used as part of a prophylactic protocol to prevent pressure injuries. These multi-directional dressings are designed for a gentle and secure fit, while protecting the skin from the extrinsic factors that may lead to skin and tissue breakdown.

1
Vapor-permeable topfilm

Waterproof and provides a bacterial barrier

2
Tissue Layer

Supports microclimate management

3
Super absorbent layer

Absorbs and locks away exudate and excess moisture from the skin

4
Unique foam with 3DFit™ Technology

Conforms to the wound bed for optimal healing conditions

5
Perforated silicone adhesive

Reduces moisture on the skin and provides a gentle and secure fit

3-piece non-touch opening
allows for easy and asepctic application

Redistributes pressure

A thick layer of unique foam redistributes pressure by reducing peak pressure and evening out pressure across the foam pad.

Redistributes friction and shear

The overall dressing design and low-friction coefficient of the top film reduce friction and shear forces to help prevent skin and tissue breakdown.

Manages microclimate

Each layer supports the dressing’s ability to reduce moisture at the skin/dressing interface to protect the skin from breakdown.

Each layer supports the dressing's ability to reduce moisture at the skin/dressing interface to protect the skin from breakdown

Lower peak pressure means a better reduction in maximum pressure

Lower friction coefficient means a better reduction in friction forces

Higher maximum shear stress difference means a better resistance to shear forces

Higher MVTR means  better evaporation of moisture
