Advazorb Silfix Foam Dressing

Manufacturer Description:

Advazorb Silfix and Advazorb Silfix Lite combine the excellent fluid handling capabilities of Advazorb with a layer of atraumatic soft silicone adhesive. The soft silicone adhesive ensures that the dressing does not stick to the wet surface of a wound bed or cause trauma to delicate new tissue upon dressing removal. This is particularly suited to those patients with friable or delicate skin. Suitable for acute and chronic wounds including cuts and abrasions, superficial burns, surgical wounds, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers.

Indications

Use on Sensitive Wound Types with Delicate or Fragile Skin Requiring a Secondary Bandage or Dressing.

Contra-Indications

• Wounds with Arterial Bleeds or Heavily Bleeding Wounds
• Fungating Malignant Wounds

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Will the dressing allow strikethrough? No, Advazorb has a waterproof backing to prevent strikethrough.
• Which direction does wicking travel? Wicking travels both vertically and laterally to maximize the foam surface area.
• Why would I use Advazorb Silfix vs. Advazorb? Silfix and Silfix Lite is designed with a soft silicone adhesive to be gentle to delicate tissues and is adhered using a bandage or secondary dressing.
• What is the purpose of the large holes on the outside of the Advazorb dressings? The larger holes offer a greater foam surface area for wound exudate to travel.
