Friction wounds

How to handle a friction wound?

Try to avoid excess of friction with human skin. Use proper clothing and apply an adequate dressing to eliminate the effects of the friction force. A soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology can be used as a protective layer as a preventive measure. In case of an already irritated skin, a soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology can be applied to support the wound healing process.

Soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology:

Used as protective dressing:

• Apply a soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology over the area at risk to protect the skin from further damage. Thanks to the bi-elasticity of the soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology, the kinetic energy due to the excess of localized friction will be spread all over the dressing. The skin will stay intact and together with a pain relief, the patient comfort will significantly increase.

Used on a friction wound:

• Apply a soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology on the friction wound to protect the skin from further damage. Thanks to the bi-elasticity of the soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology, the kinetic energy due to the excess of localized friction will be spread all over the dressing. Pain relief will significantly increase the patient comfort. Also, the soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology will support the wound healing process based on the principle of moist wound healing. The wound won’t dry out allowing the wound to heal optimally.
