Specialties
Advanced Features for Better Healing
This multi-layered dressing is designed for ultimate comfort and healing.
No Pain Removal
Made with soft, hypoallergenic silicone, the silicone dressings for wounds will gently stick to the skin without staying on the wound bed and will not hurt when it is removed.
Unmatched Absorption
The foam core of this silicone foam absorbent dressing can absorb 10 times its weight in moisture, keeping your wound clean and dry.
Waterproof and Breathable
The outside of the bordered silicone foam dressing layer protects the wound against outside moisture while letting oxygen pass through to help heal the wound.
Secure and Easy to Use
This dressing can be used for a variety of injuries from surgical sites to diabetic ulcers while staying secure through strong yet gentle adhesion.
Diabetic Ulcers
Silicone foam dressings are an ideal option for the management of diabetic ulcers because they can adhere well but are gentle on the skin and very absorbent. They can come in a variety of sizes. These dressings provide a cushioned and protective environment for managing exudate, much needed for diabetic patients. GauzeCare offers a range of sizes, including 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 6×6, and 7×7 inches, to ensure a perfect fit for any wound.
Skin Tears & Fragile Skin
A regular adhesive can cause additional trauma to delicate and fragile skin, especially for elderly patients. Silicone dressings for skin tears have a soft adhesive layer attached, allowing them to stay in place, but can be removed without any pain. The bordered silicone foam dressing will keep the bandage in place without damage and is safe for fragile skin.
Minor Injuries
A silicone first aid dressing is a necessary component for any home first aid kit, and it is simple to use with its sterile barrier. The dressings come in several sizes, with silicone foam dressings 2×2 and 3×3 being easy options to cover minor cuts, scrapes, and burns to maintain a clean wound and begin healing properly immediately.
How to Apply a Silicone Dressing
Prepare the Wound:
Gently clean the wound and surrounding tissue with saline or a wound cleanser. Pat the area dry, and make sure the tissue around the wound is completely dry/salinity-free.
Peel and Center:
Remove the backing from the silicone foam border dressing. Gently structure the absorbent foam pad directly over the wound.
Applying the Dressing:
Lightly press the silicone foam adhesive dressing down and smooth the border to the skin. Be sure all edges are secure to form a seal.
Monitor and change:
The dressing can stay on for days, as long as the exudate is low. To remove, grasp one corner and slowly peel back. This will be painless since it is a low-adhesive dressing.
IMPORTANCE
Patient Comfort and Quality of Life
These advanced dressings are not only safe, but also provide a focus towards comfort and patient-centered wound care that promotes comfort and enhances the quality of life while on the healing continuum.
Reduced Pain in the Healing Process
Silicone foam adhesive dressing is a soft and non-aggressive product that adheres firmly to the skin and does not adhere to the wound itself, which greatly reduces pain and discomfort during dressing changes – allowing for a healthier healing process and reducing the risk of stripping the skin.
Improved Mobility
These dressings allow improved mobility, as their soft and flexible design fits with the body, not making the feel restrictive, but providing cushioning. A bordered silicone foam dressing adheres well enough to protect the wound and provide cushioning, yet is gentle enough to allow patients to be confident in going about his or her daily activities and is still wearable.
Reduced Dressing Changes
Due to the superior absorbency of a silicone foam absorbent dressing, it can handle significant amounts of exudate, keeping the area dry longer and with a greater capacity for exudate. Less frequent dressing changes are more convenient for staff and will provide greater uninterrupted rest periods for the patient.
Confidential and Secure Protection
Silicone foam dressings are made to be low-profile and stay in position, and be tough on challenging locations. Since these dressings can be applied with versatile use and reliably and discreetly protect a variety of wounds, patients can feel comfortable throughout the healing process.
