SILICON CONTACT LAYER ACTIVEHEAL

ActivHeal® Silicone Wound Contact Layer dressing is a primary dressing for use when adherence to the wound is a potential problem. The dressing allows exudate to pass into an absorbent secondary dressing. The silicone creates a layer between the dressing and the skin surface which allows the dressing to be removed without causing trauma, pain, or damaging the delicate new tissue at the wound margin. On the skin, the dressing will provide secure adhesion with minimal epidermal stripping or pain on removal.

PERFORMANCE

ActivHeal® Silicone Wound Contact Layer is a primary dressing. A secondary absorbent dressing is required if exudate is present. In comparison with similar contact layers the ActivHeal® Silicone Wound Contact Layer is shown to be more extensible, therefore making it more conformable and subsequently easier to apply to difficult areas to dress.
