It can be effectively used under compression therapy and may remain in place for up to seven days, depending on exudate levels, potentially reducing the frequency of dressing changes.

These materials ensure a high absorption capacity and reliable performance.
Safety and Storage
Biatain Silicone Adhesive Foam is non-toxic and non-hazardous, aligning with medical device regulations. It should be stored at room temperature, with disposal following local regulations for household waste.
Usage Instructions
For optimal results, cleanse and dry the wound area before application. Select a dressing size that overlaps the wound edge by at least 1–2 cm. Change the dressing when necessary, ensuring a 1 cm gap between exudate and the foam pad edge. Removal is simple by gently lifting the border and pulling back slowly.
