Biatain® Silicone 3DFit® Technology fills the gap and reduces exudate pooling
The challenge with conventional dressings, is that they leave a gap between the wound bed and dressing. The gap allows for exudate pooling which starts a series of events. Pools of exudate may promote bacterial growth, which may lead to the risk of infection. If exudate leaks on to the wound edge and periwound skin it will become macerated and delay wound healing.
What's needed is a dressing that prevents gaps from forming in the first place, and Biatain® Silicone with 3DFit technology is that dressing. It conforms to the wound bed to prevent gaps and exudate pooling, it absorbs the wound exudate and stops pooling before it starts.
A 28-year-old male, with a neurodegenerative disorder, presented with a pressure ulcer on the lower right leg, caused by his wheelchair.
Wound bed: Sloughy tissue with medium exudate
Wound edge: Intact
Periwound skin: Dry
After cleansing and debridement, Biatain® Silicone was applied to the wound. The dressing conformed perfectly to the wound and ensured appropriate exudate management.
Biatain Silicone conforms up to 2 cm depths (4)
