Description
Biatain Foam Adhesive by Coloplast is a versatile wound care solution designed to enhance healing for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. This dressing features a soft, conformable polyurethane foam with a hydrocolloid adhesive border, ensuring secure placement and optimal comfort.
Key Benefits
- Moist Wound Environment: The unique 3D foam structure effectively absorbs and retains exudate, maintaining a moist environment conducive to healing.
- Secure Fixation: The hydrocolloid adhesive border provides reliable adhesion, suitable for wounds with healthy peri-wound skin or areas needing extra support.
- Leakage Prevention: Vertical absorption minimizes the risk of maceration and leakage, even under compression.
Protective Features
- Waterproof Backing: The dressing includes a waterproof, bacteria-impermeable film, allowing patients to bathe or shower without compromising the seal.
- Customizable Fit: Available in various sizes and shapes, it can be cut to fit specific anatomical locations, such as elbows or heels.

Application Guidelines
- Preparation: Cleanse and dry the wound before application. Choose a size that overlaps the wound by 1–2 cm onto healthy skin.

Special Considerations
