Hartmann-Conco Proximel Small Sacrum Silicone Dressing is a state-of-the-art wound care product designed specifically for the sacral area. Engineered with patient comfort in mind, the dressing features a silicone adhesive that is gentle on the skin, thereby reducing irritation and pain upon application and removal. Its unique adhesive quality allows the dressing to be lifted and repositioned without losing its adherence, emphasizing ease of use for care practitioners. The core of the dressing is constructed to ensure fast absorption while minimizing the risk of maceration, making it suitable for moderate to high exuding wounds. Additionally, the high breathability of the Proximel Dressing promotes an optimal moisture balance for healing, while its waterproof and bacteria-proof film backing asserts an impermeable barrier against external contaminants, yet maintaining air permeability. This combination of features makes Proximel an ideal dressing for promoting a conducive healing environment.
