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. As a consequence, the use of soft silicone dressings is very economic for the patient.
Soft silicone dressings can be described as a-traumatic dressings; clinical studies have shown that these kind of dressings can be a-traumatic removed without causing pain and without causing secondary lesions of the wound bed or surrounding skin.

In case of clinical signs of infection, the use of silicone dressings can be continued in combination with an appropriate medical treatment ( anti-microbial treatment ). The wound should be inspected for signs of infection according to clinical practice.

An international advisory board of ‘scar-management’ experts have recently published a list of ‘evidence-based’ suggestions whereby the use of silicone gel dressings could be the first choice for immature, linear or general hypertrophic scars after burns and smaller keloids.

Quite some clinical articles are published in regard to the properties of silicones and the use of silicone dressings.
