As Biatain swells it closes down on the dead space between the wound bed and the dressing. This benefit, whilst providing an optimal moist wound healing environment by maintaining intimate contact to wound bed may also help to:

- Lower the risk of bacterial colonisation
- Prevent the wound from becoming hypoxic thus encouraging anaerobic growth
