• Bacteria Retention
• Vertical Absorption
• Easy fit
True Conformability
Ensures close contact with the wound bed to reduce exudate pooling for optimal healing.
Absorbs vertically
77% higher fluid handling capacity for longer wear time.
Bacteria Retention
Traps 99.98% of bacteria even under compression, reducing infection and maceration risks.
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.

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. And for sacral applications, twin tips and slits help the dressing better adhere to 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.
If it isn’t managed properly, exudate pooling and bacterial growth can start a cascade of challenges such as infection.
Breathable top film helps regulate moisture while protecting the wound from bacteria and water.
The foam expands to match the shape and depth of the wound bed for a close fit. That means the foam minimizes the dead space and reduces exudate pooling for optimal wound healing conditions.
As the foam gets into contact with exudate, the exudate is absorbed vertically through microcapillaries in the foam without spreading across. That way it keeps exudate away from the periwound skin to reduce risk of maceration.
As exudate is absorbed through the dressing it is retained and locked away inside the dressing even under compression to reduce the risk of leakage and maceration.
