Description
Biatain Silicone Adhesive Foam by Coloplast is a versatile wound dressing designed to enhance healing through superior moisture management. Crafted from soft polyurethane foam, it features a gentle silicone adhesive that ensures secure placement with minimal discomfort during removal.
Key Features
- 3D Foam Structure: Conforms closely to the wound bed, providing excellent absorption and retention of exudate.
- Moisture Control: Maintains an optimal healing environment while minimizing leakage and reducing the risk of maceration.
- Comfortable Wear: Soft and flexible, suitable for use under compression therapy.
Application Benefits
The dressing includes a semi-permeable top film that is both bacteria-proof and waterproof, allowing for extended wear time of up to seven days, depending on wound conditions. Its 3-piece non-touch opening facilitates easy and aseptic application, making it ideal for various healthcare settings.
3DFit® Technology
This innovative technology enables the foam to fill wound gaps up to 2 cm deep, reducing exudate pooling and enhancing overall wound care. Available in multiple sizes, Biatain Silicone also offers variants such as Biatain Silicone Lite and Biatain Silicone Ag, catering to specific wound care needs with options for thinner dressings and antibacterial protection.

- Leg ulcers
- Pressure ulcers
- Non-infected diabetic foot ulcers
- Donor sites
- Post-operative wounds
- Traumatic wounds
It is compatible with compression therapy and particularly effective for wounds with medium to high exudate levels.
Instructions for Use
- Cleanse the wound and surrounding area, ensuring it is dry.
