Silicone Foam Dressing – The Best Wound Dressing for Pressure Ulcers
Indications
Applicable to variety of acute and chronic wounds, especially highly exudating wounds.
Can be used in the prevention and treatment of various pressure ulcers.
Silicone Foam Dressing – The Best Wound Dressing for Pressure Ulcers
DETAILS
Material
- Waterproof PU film layer
- Super absorbent fiber layer
- Unidirectional flow-through layer
- Foam absorbent layer
- Silicone wound layer
Main Mechanisms
- Moist Healing: Silicone gel foam dressings create a moist wound environment, which helps accelerate cell regeneration, promote wound healing, and reduce scar formation. This environment keeps the wound moist, prevents cracking, and enhances the healing process.
- Absorptive Property: Silicone gel foam dressings effectively absorb wound exudate, helping to reduce edema around the wound and keeping the wound clean and dry to prevent infection. The foam structure can hold a large amount of exudate, maintaining even moisture levels on the wound surface.
- Protective Function: The dressing forms a protective barrier over the wound, shielding it from external contamination and irritants. This reduces mechanical friction on the wound, prevents further damage, and protects the wound from infection and bacterial invasion.
- Pain Reduction: The soft and comfortable nature of the dressing alleviates pain caused by contact between the wound and the external environment. It is particularly effective during dressing changes, minimizing sensitivity to stimulation.
- Promoting Self-repair: The silicone gel forms a thin film over the wound surface, enhancing the skin's barrier function, facilitating self-repair, and reducing the risk of secondary infection.
- High Adaptability: Silicone gel foam dressings are highly versatile and suitable for various types of wounds, including superficial wounds, deep wounds, and exudative wounds. Dressing changes are typically easier and less likely to cause secondary irritation to the wound.
Key Feature
- Waterproof and breathable
- Prevents the formation of wound scars
- Easy to apply, does not stick to hair
- High absorption capacity, can maintain appropriate temperature and humidity of the wound, conforms to the principle of "wet healing", and promotes wound healing
- Can be repeatedly applied so that the wound condition can be checked at any time
- Painless removal without adhesion to the wound
- Soft and comfortable, acts as a "cushion"
Cautions
- Coverage should be 2cm/1in beyond the edge of the wound.
- Not for use with oxidizing solutions, such as Hypochlorite solution or Hydrogen peroide solution.
- Discontinue use if the patient is allergic to silicone.
- Not suitable for infected wounds.
- Not suitable for sinus wounds.
Advanced Protection for Pressure Ulcers
Silicone Foam Dressing offers advanced wound management for pressure ulcers. Its gentle silicone layer minimizes pain during dressing changes, while the absorbent foam core effectively locks in exudate and protects the wound from further trauma.
🌟 Best wound dressing for pressure ulcers with soft adhesion and skin-friendly design.
Superior Absorption and Moist Wound Healing
Designed to maintain a moist healing environment, this dressing promotes faster tissue regeneration and reduces the risk of infection. Its breathable film layer helps control fluid evaporation while keeping external contaminants out.
✔️ Excellent for Stage 2–3 pressure ulcers
✔️ Up to 7 days wear time
Gentle on Skin, Strong on Performance
Our Silicone Foam Dressing is latex-free, hypoallergenic, and ideal for fragile or aging skin. It conforms to body curves without sticking to the wound, making it perfect for long-term care, hospitals, or home use.
- Waterproof
- Bedridden or mobility-limited patients
- Elderly and diabetic skin care
Easy to Use
Clean
Clean the assess the wound as appropriate to ensure that the skin around the wound is dry.
Choose
Choose a dressing that is at least an inch larger than the wound.
Apply
Remove one side of the film liner and place the dressing on the wound and surrounding skin.
Press
Remove the remaining film liner and press gently without tension to smooth the dressing.
You asked,we answered.
What types of wounds is it suitable for?
- Pressure ulcers (bedsores)
- Surgical wounds
- Traumatic wounds (cuts, abrasions)
- second-degree burns
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Skin tears or fragile skin
Why choose silicone over traditional adhesives?
Silicone adhesives are gentler on the skin, especially for elderly patients or those with fragile or sensitive skin. They reduce the risk of skin stripping and pain during removal.
How much fluid can it absorb?
Foam dressings with border are designed to absorb moderate to heavy exudate, keeping the wound environment moist while protecting the surrounding skin from maceration.
Is the dressing waterproof?
Our silicone foam bandagess have a semi-permeable waterproof backing, allowing moisture vapor to escape while blocking water and bacteria from entering.
How often should I change the dressing?
Silicone foam border dressing changes typically occur every 3–5 days, or sooner if the dressing becomes saturated or loses adhesion. The frequency may vary depending on wound condition and exudate level.
Does it hurt to remove?
No. One of the main benefits of bordered foam dressings is painless removal. The silicone layer adheres gently to the skin without sticking to the wound bed.
