Usage/Application

Ideal for wound care, draining wounds, pressure injuries, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, burns, traumatic wounds, long-term care facilities, clinics, home care, assisted living, and caregiver-supported wound management where a silver foam dressing has been recommended. Use the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional to cover and protect draining wounds that are at risk of infection or have increased bacterial burden, applying the silver-containing foam over the wound and securing it with an appropriate secondary fixation when needed, since it uses a Safetac contact layer rather than a full adhesive border. The silver provides antimicrobial support and should be used according to clinical guidance and for the recommended duration rather than indefinitely, and the Safetac technology supports gentle removal to help protect fragile or sensitive skin. Select the size appropriate to the wound and its drainage, change the dressing according to the wound-care plan, monitor the wound for increased drainage, redness, odour, or other signs of infection, and follow the care team's guidance, since deep, infected, or non-healing wounds require professional assessment.
