DETAILS
Material
- Waterproof PU film layer
- Super absorbent fiber layer
- Unidirectional flow-through layer
- Foam absorbent layer
- Silicone wound layer
Main Mechanism
- 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 Features
- 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.
You asked, we answered.
How do I determine the severity of my burn?
Burns are classified into four levels based on severity:
- Red, swollen skin without blisters; heals on its own.
- Red, blistered skin with moderate pain; requires moist dressings for healing.
- Blisters may burst, skin may appear white or dark red; high infection risk and may require skin grafting.
- Charred or waxy white skin with no pain (nerve damage); requires immediate medical attention.
👉 Recommendation: Minor burns can be treated at home, but second-degree or deeper burns should be evaluated by a doctor.
How do I choose the right size?
Ensure that the silver alginate dressing extends at least 1-2 cm beyond the wound edges. This helps to form a seal and prevents the dressing from lifting, while also minimizing the risk of contamination.
How often should I change the dressing on my burn wound?
The frequency depends on the dressing type and wound exudate level:
- Moist-retaining dressings (hydrocolloid, silicone foam, honey gauze) → Can stay in place for 3-5 days, but should be changed earlier if exudate increases.
- Highly absorbent dressings (silver alginate, calcium alginate) → Should be changed every 1-2 days to prevent oversaturation and infection.
- Antibacterial dressings (honey-based, bismuth tribromophenate)changed every 2-3 days, depending on exudate levels.
Can I continue using dressings after the burn wound has scabbed over?
Scabbing is part of the natural healing process, but excessive dryness can delay healing. Recommendations:
- If the scab cracks or delays healing, continue using hydrocolloid or silicone foam dressings to keep the wound moist.
- If the scab is intact and infection-free, discontinue dressings and switch to moisturizing treatments (silicone gel sheets, transparent film) to reduce scarring.
Can silicone foam dressings be used on burn wounds with no exudate?
✅ Yes, but it’s best to apply a moisturizing gel (e.g., burn gel) first.
- Silicone foam is mainly for moderate-exudate wounds, but its silicone layer helps maintain a moist healing environment, making it suitable for dry burns needing protection.
- For completely dry wounds, hydrocolloid or transparent film dressings may be better for preventing excessive moisture loss.
