Available from ADVANCIS MEDICAL, Siltex is a wound contact, non-adherent dressing made from polyester mesh coated with Silfix soft silicone.
An atraumatic dressing, the product is designed to gently adhere to the skin surrounding a wound and not to the wound bed. It therefore minimises the pain and trauma associated with dressing change. Siltex allows the passage of exudate and is available on drug tariff and through NHS Supply Chain. It is indicated for use on: skin tears, skin abrasions, surgical wounds, second degree burns, lacerations, leg and pressure ulcers; and is available in the following sizes: 5 cm x 7 cm, 8 cm x 10 cm, 12 cm x 15 cm, 20 cm x 30 cm.
