Product Overview
Kliniderm® Silicone Wound Contact Layer is a one–sided soft silicone contact layer with a porous structure that allows exudate to pass through easily into a secondary dressing.
The dressing is non–adherent to the wound site, preventing skin stripping and discomfort during dressing changes.
Sterile
Latex free
Indications:
Kliniderm® Silicone Wound Contact Layer is indicated for chronic and acute wounds such as:
• Skin tears
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Leg ulcers
• First / second degree burns
• Surgical wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Can also be used as a protective layer on non–exuding wounds, on areas with fragile skin and with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.
Application Instructions:
1. Clean the wound area according to local protocols. Ensure the peri–wound skin is dry.
2. Select a suitable size so that the dressing overlaps the wound margins by at least 1 cm. Larger wounds may require more overlap.
3. Gently apply directly onto the wound site, peel off the carrier film of the dressing and gently smooth down the wound edges to ensure good adhesion.
4. Cover the contact layer with an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing such as Kliniderm® Superabsorbent.
