Gentle silicone gel adhesive: Non-adherent contact layer minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes, supporting comfortable wear.
-
Triple-action technology: Hydrocellular foam core balances absorption and retention to maintain a moist wound environment, while the silicone adhesive aids secure yet atraumatic adhesion.
