Why Flex Technology Bordered Silicone Foam Dressing?

Traditional bordered foam dressings use rigid adhesive borders that lift and peel at joint areas during body movement, fail to maintain consistent adhesive seal over curved anatomical surfaces causing edge contamination, cause painful trauma during removal through aggressive adhesive bonding to periwound skin, create maceration from moisture accumulation under non-conforming dressing edges, and require frequent unscheduled replacements from premature border failure—particularly problematic for wounds over high-mobility areas including heels, elbows, and sacrum, pressure injuries where dressing integrity is critical for infection prevention, diabetic foot ulcer management requiring sustained seal integrity during ambulation, and any chronic wound scenario where dressing failure increases infection risk and nursing workload. Flex Technology bordered silicone foam revolutionizes advanced wound management through 360-degree stretch construction that elongates and recovers with body movement maintaining consistent border adhesion throughout activity cycles, Safetac soft silicone wound contact layer bonding gently to intact periwound skin without adherence to moist wound tissue enabling completely atraumatic removal without pain or epidermal stripping, 5-layer foam architecture channeling exudate away from wound surface into absorbent core preventing maceration while locking fluid to prevent rewetting, and breathable waterproof outer film maintaining wound protection during showering while allowing moisture vapor transmission. The innovative exudate progress monitor dot pattern enables visual saturation assessment through the outer film without dressing removal—eliminating unnecessary dressing changes while identifying genuine replacement need. Bordered self-adhesive design eliminates tape dependency providing complete all-in-one application system. For wound care specialists managing complex chronic wounds, nursing facilities implementing pressure injury prevention protocols, home healthcare managing diabetic ulcers and venous leg ulcers, and any clinical scenario where dressing longevity, wound bed protection, patient comfort, and exudate management must all be optimized simultaneously, Flex Technology with Safetac silicone contact delivers clinically superior conformability, wear time, atraumatic removal, and fluid management impossible with conventional rigid-bordered foam dressings.

Key Features

• Flex Technology 360° Stretch: Dressing elongates and recovers with body movement maintaining complete border seal throughout activity
• Safetac Soft Silicone Contact Layer: Bonds to periwound skin without wound bed adherence enabling completely atraumatic removal
• 5-Layer Foam Architecture: Absorbs, channels, and traps exudate away from wound surface preventing maceration and rewetting
• Exudate Progress Monitor: Dot pattern on outer film enables saturation assessment without dressing removal
• Breathable Waterproof Film: Protects wound during showering while allowing moisture vapor transmission
• All-In-One Bordered Design: Self-adhesive border eliminates tape dependency for complete single-product application
• Moderate to Heavy Exudate Capacity: Handles both normal and viscous wound fluids across diverse wound types
• Periwound Maceration Prevention: Safetac layer and fluid-locking foam protect surrounding intact skin
• Professional Dimensions: 15 cm × 15 cm accommodates large wound sites with adequate border margins
• 10 Dressings per Box: Clinical supply supporting treatment courses for chronic wound management

Benefits

• Maintains complete border adhesion through body movement preventing edge lifting and wound contamination
• Enables atraumatic dressing removal eliminating pain and epidermal stripping at changes
• Manages moderate to heavy exudate without maceration through 5-layer channeling and locking system
• Exudate monitor prevents unnecessary dressing changes reducing nursing workload and patient disruption
• Waterproof film permits normal showering without infection risk or dressing compromise
• Safetac silicone protects fragile periwound skin from adhesive trauma during repeated changes
• Conforms to curved and irregular body surfaces maintaining therapeutic contact throughout wear
• Extended wear time reduces overall dressing consumption and change frequency costs

Recommended Use

Perfect for pressure injuries (Stage II-IV) over sacrum, heels, and bony prominences, diabetic foot ulcer management requiring sustained seal integrity during ambulation, venous leg ulcer exudate management, skin tears in elderly fragile skin, post-surgical wound management, traumatic wound coverage over mobile body areas, wounds with moderate to heavy viscous exudate requiring superior fluid management, and advanced wound care in hospitals, wound care centers, long-term care facilities, home healthcare settings, and specialist wound clinics. Particularly valuable for wounds over high-mobility joints where conventional dressings fail prematurely, pressure injury prevention and treatment programs requiring reliable border integrity, facilities implementing extended wear protocols to reduce dressing change frequency, diabetic patients requiring ambulatory wound management without dressing disruption, and any chronic wound scenario where dressing longevity, patient comfort, and exudate management simultaneously optimize clinical outcomes and care economics.
