Advazorb Silfix

Hydrophilic foam dressing with soft silicone wound contact layer

Product Description

Advazorb Silfix and Advazorb Silfix Lite combine the excellent fluid handling capabilities of Advazorb with a layer of atraumatic soft silicone adhesive.

The soft silicone ensures that the dressing does not stick to the wet surface of a wound bed or cause trauma to delicate new tissue upon dressing removal. This is particularly suited to those patients with friable or delicate skin.

Use

Remove clear liners and apply pink side up to the wound ensuring the dressing covers the entire wound area and a minimum overlap of 2cm around the edges of the wound. Secure in place with tape, appropriate bandage or secondary dressing.
