The soft silicone adhesive layer bonds securely to intact peri-wound skin but does not adhere to the moist wound bed itself. This minimizes trauma and pain during dressing changes.
✔️
Superior Exudate Management
The absorbent polyurethane foam core effectively handles moderate to high levels of wound fluid, locking it away from the wound bed and preventing maceration.
✔️
Protection Against Scarring
Silicone gel hydration helps regulate collagen production, reducing and preventing the formation of hypertrophic scars and keloids.
✔️
Moist Wound Healing Environment
Maintains a warm, moist microenvironment scientifically proven to accelerate epithelialization and granulation tissue formation.
✔️
Protective Cushioning
The foam layer shields the wound from friction, shear forces, pressure, and external contaminants.
✔️
Conformability & Comfort
Flexible foam structure allows the dressing to conform well to body contours like heels, sacrum, and joints.
✔️
Extended Wear Time
Due to high absorbency, these dressings can often be worn for several days, reducing the frequency of changes.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of wounds is the Silicone Heel Foam Dressing suitable for?
It is ideal for moderate to highly exuding wounds, including pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, skin tears, and post-operative surgical incisions.
2. Does removing the dressing cause pain or damage?
No, the gentle silicone adhesive is specifically designed to adhere to dry skin while remaining non-adherent to the moist wound bed, ensuring painless removal and protecting fragile new tissue.
3. How does it help with scar prevention?
The silicone gel layer helps hydrate the wound area and regulate collagen production, which has been clinically shown to reduce the formation of hypertrophic scars and keloids.
4. Is the dressing waterproof and breathable?
Yes, it features a waterproof PU film backing that prevents bacterial ingress while allowing optimal oxygen and water vapor exchange for a healthy healing environment.
5. How long can a single dressing be worn?
Due to its high absorbency and exudate locking technology, it can typically be worn for several days, depending on the wound condition and level of fluid.
6. Can it be used on mobile areas like joints or heels?
Absolutely. The flexible foam structure is designed for high conformability, making it perfect for difficult-to-dress areas like heels, elbows, and knees.
