Cutimed Siltec L is a thin, sterile, silicone-coated absorbent polyurethane foam dressing with integrated superabsorbent stripes designed to effectively absorb and lock in wound exudate. The wound contact layer adheres gently to the surrounding skin but not to the moist wound bed or newly formed epithelial tissue.

Features:

• Latex-free
• Gentle on the wound bed
• Reliable exudate management
• Water-repellent and breathable backing
• Suitable for low to moderate exudate levels
• Requires a secondary dressing

Benefits:

• The skin-friendly perforated silicone contact layer prevents adherence to new tissue, protects wound margins, and allows atraumatic dressing changes. It is also easy to apply and can be repositioned if necessary.
• Vertical absorption channels ensure efficient exudate uptake and retention, while superabsorbent stripes provide added absorption capacity.
• The outer film is bacteria-proof, water-repellent, and promotes moisture balance by allowing controlled vapor transmission.
• The dressing can be trimmed to size for optimal comfort and adaptability to different wound areas.

How to use:

• Ensure the surrounding skin is clean and dry.
• Select an appropriate dressing size that covers the wound and overlaps the wound edges.
• Open the pouch and remove the dressing aseptically.
• Peel off the protective film and apply the adherent side to the wound surface.
• Avoid stretching the dressing during application.
• Secure with an appropriate secondary fixation if required.

How to remove:

• Carefully remove any fixation materials, gently lift from the wound, and discard it.

Indications:

• Venous and arterial ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Surgical incisions
• Skin grafts and donor sites
• Lacerations or abrasions

Wear time: Cutimed Siltec L can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on wound condition and exudate saturation.
