Silflex - Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer
Silflex - Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer
Product Description
Silflex is a wound contact, non-adherent dressing made from polyester mesh coated with an atraumatic, hydrophobic soft silicone, making it useful for patients with very thin, friable tissue.
Silflex is designed to gently adhere to the skin surrounding a wound and not to the wound bed to reduce the pain and trauma associated with dressing change. With 2mm pore holes Silflex allows the passage of exudate through the dressing.
Due to it's gentle application and removal, Silflex is an ideal solution for treating and preventing skin tears.
