Protect new, fragile skin:
When the wound has filled with granulation tissue and epithelial cells begin to grow from the wound margins the amount of exudate is likely to decrease. A thinner dressing may now be appropriate, such as Cutimed Siltec L, which is at the same time even more conformable and comfortable to wear.
By its outstanding vapour transmission rates and super absorber particles this dressing allows for a reliable fluid retention and helps to reduce the risk of maceration.
Ensure atraumatic dressing changes:
In this wound healing phase where less exudate is produced and where new fragile epithelial cells cover the former wound area, an atraumatic dressing is of utmost importance.
That’s why all dressings of the Cutimed Siltec range come with a silicone layer on the wound contact side. This provides a most gentle adherence to the dry peri-wound skin – and there is no adherence at all in contact to the moist wound bed.
The silicone layer in Cutimed Siltec dressings very mildly adheres to the dry peri-wound skin – and also to the non-exuding epithelium in the wound.
The benefits of Cutimed Siltec’s silicone layer:
- gentle adherence to fragile epithelium
- undisturbed healing progress
- patients experience pain-free dressing changes.

Adequate compression remains a vital part of a patient’s therapy in order to support venous flow. Products of choice are:
Make sure an appropriate secondary dressing, (e.g. Leukomed T or Cutimed Siltec B) will maintain a moist wound environment.
