Silicone Foam Dressing Built for Exudate management and pressure injury prevention protocols
The work of exudate management and pressure injury prevention protocols sets the design brief for this silicone foam dressing, from the first handling detail to the last. Significant reduction in exudate levels from baseline. Cutting will compromise the bacterial barrier properties of the dressing. Always use an aseptic technique. Ensure any exposed foam areas are covered with an appropriate film dressing taking care not to cover the entire dressing. For wound care and prevention teams, that means a predictable setup and fewer mid-procedure workarounds.
