SILICONE SKIN TECHNOLOGY
Patented soft, self-adhering silicone technology on one side of the dressing. The ReSkin Silicone Skin Technology combines two unique features:
- super-soft silicone adhesive.
- bi-elastic top layer; elastic in the length and in the width.
Thanks to the bi-elasticity, the risk for skin tears, skin irritation or skin lesions when having a skin at risk diminishes significantly.
Reskin Silicone Skin Technology is integrated in a full range of innovative dressings, bandages and patches which are available in three market segments: medical professionals, at home ( OTC ) and sports.
SAFE TO USE
Soft silicones are safe to use and are chemical inert. Soft silicones which are used in the medical or surgical world causes only very seldom allergic reactions or irritations. Tests on animals prove that soft silicones do not cause skin reactions, nor systemic toxicity. Worldwide, ‘Regulatory bodies ‘ have approved the usage of soft silicones as wound dressing.
CLINICAL PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
Published studies show that patients, treated with soft silicone dressings, have significant less pain when dressings are changed. Studies also show an increased patient comfort, less maceration of the wound edges and surrounding skin compared to traditional dressings.
