Abena Silicone Foam Dressing, 4" x 4" - compare to Allevyn
Abena’s Silicone Foam Dressing is:
- A highly absorbent self-adherent silicone foam dressing;
- Has a soft silicone contact layer, a flexible polyurethane foam pad, and a vapor-permeable, moisture-proof outer film;
- Comfortable and can be cut to fit.
The silicone adhesive sticks to surrounding skin but not to the wound bed, lessening pain and risk of damage to the wound area. The triple-layered construction facilitates dynamic fluid management to provide the optimal moist wound environment, which helps promote faster wound closure and reduce risk of maceration. The gentle silicone layer can be lifted and repositioned without losing its adherence.
