Resposorb Silicone Border - pack of 10

🧪 Key Features

Absorbency & Exudate Control

• They combine cellulose fluff and superabsorbent polymers (SAP) in the core to absorb and retain wound fluid and exudate, which helps manage moisture and support healing

Silicone Contact Layer

• The layer that touches the wound is silicone-based and micro-adherent.

  • This allows gentle, atraumatic removal and reduces pain during dressing changes.

Self-Adhesive Option (Border DRESSINGS)

• Versions with a border (e.g., RespoSorb Silicone Border) include a transparent silicone adhesive border, which grips surrounding skin so no additional fixation is needed and helps keep the dressing in place.

• The backing is waterproof but breathable — patients can shower with it in place.

Broad Wound Application

• They’re suitable for acute wounds (like surgical or traumatic wounds) and chronic wounds (such as venous ulcers, pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers).

Wound-Friendly Performance

• These dressings can sequester bacteria and proteases (like MMPs) that inhibit healing, potentially improving local wound conditions compared with some foam dressings.

🩹 How They Work (Clinical Perspective)

• Moist wound environment: They help maintain a balanced moist healing environment, which is generally beneficial for epithelialization and tissue repair.

• Reduced trauma: The silicone interface and secure adhesion help minimize damage to newly forming tissues during dressing removal.

• Exudate retention: SAP technology locks away fluid, reducing leakage and the risk of maceration around the wound.

• Versatility: Available in multiple sizes and shapes to fit different wound sites and body contours.

🧑⚕️ Clinical Use Notes

• These dressings are single-use and sterile, intended for use by or under the guidance of healthcare professionals.

• The adhesive bordered versions often can stay in place for several days, depending on wound condition and exudate levels.
