Brand: Coloplast
Product Code: COBSS
• Bacteria Retention
• Vertical Absorption
• Easy fit
True Conformability
Ensures close contact with the wound bed to reduce exudate pooling for optimal healing.
Absorbs Vertically
Absorbs exudate vertically and retains fluid, even under compression.
Bacteria Retention
In laboratory testing, the dressing retained 99.98% of bacteria (Braunwarth and Christiansen, 2017).
Product Composition
Biatain® Silicone is a soft and conformable polyurethane foam dressing with a semi-permeable, bacteria- and waterproof top film, a lock-away layer and a soft silicone adhesive layer.
Usage
Biatain® Silicone is indicated for a wide range of exuding chronic and acute wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, non-infected diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, postoperative wounds and traumatic wounds (e.g. skin abrasions, skin tears, cuts). It can be used in combination with compression therapy and may be left in place for up to 7 days.
Secure Fit
Breathable
Bacterial Barrier & Retention
Long Wear
Gentle
The dressing’s soft and flexible materials reduce friction and shear forces to help prevent skin and tissue breakdown. A layer of unique Biatain® foam works to redistribute and even out any transmitted pressure across the pad.
Tapered edges support flexibility and easy application. For sacral applications, twin tips and slits help the dressing adhere better around the gluteal cleft.
Wound complications slow down the healing process and take a toll on your patients. With some foam dressings, there can be a higher risk of dead space formation and exudate pooling. Below, you can learn more about these complications and how they can impact wound healing.
If there is dead space between the wound bed and the dressing, exudate can pool and lead to maceration, infection and delayed healing.
When excess exudate stays in contact with the skin around the wound, the skin can soften and break down, which may enlarge the wound and delay healing.
If it isn’t managed properly, exudate pooling and bacterial growth can start a cascade of complications, including infection.
The foam expands to match the shape and depth of the wound bed for a close fit. This minimises dead space and reduces exudate pooling for optimal wound healing conditions.
When the foam comes into contact with exudate, it is absorbed vertically through microcapillaries in the foam without spreading sideways. This keeps exudate away from the surrounding skin to reduce the risk of maceration.
As exudate is absorbed, it is retained and locked away inside the dressing, even under compression, to reduce the risk of leakage and maceration.
