Unique 3D foam structure for superior absorption
When in contact with exudate the unique 3D foam structure of Biatain® conforms closely to the wound bed for superior absorption – even under compression (2-4).
Minimised risk of maceration and leakage
The superior absorption and exudate retention properties of Biatain® Soft-Hold minimise the risk of maceration and leakage.
Long wear time
Due to the superior absorption capacity of Biatain® the dressing has a long wear time (up to 7 days) (2-4).
Soft and flexible dressing
Biatain® Soft-Hold is a soft and flexible dressing that is comfortable to wear (1).
Mode of action
The unique 3D foam structure absorbs the exudate vertically and locks the fluid away within its structure, still leaving the wound moist providing good wound healing conditions.
Composition
Biatain® Soft-Hold consists of a vapour permeable top film, which is bacteria- and waterproof, an absorbent polyurethane foam and a partially adherent layer.
Usage
Biatain® Soft-Hold can be used for a wide range of exuding wounds, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, second-degree burns, postoperative wounds and skin abrasions. Biatain®Soft-Hold can be used in combination with compression therapy. Biatain® Soft-Hold should not be used for donor sites.
