Silflex FAQs

Do you have to wet your gloves when handing Silflex?

preventing Silflex from sticking to your gloves.


Why does Silflex have such large holes?


This is merely the way it was designed however, some practitioners have commented that the
size of holes allow for easier passage of exudate.


How long can Silflex be left on for without moving it?


14 days is the maximum wear time for Silflex, however it is recommended that a 180 degree rotation is
undertaken to prevent over granulation.


Can Silflex be taken off, cleaned and put back on?


No due to the risk of infection.
