Semi-permeable adherent silicone film dressing

Product Description

Silicone film dressing

Vellafilm is a polyurethane film dressing with Silfix soft silicone contact layer, designed to protect the wound whilst minimising the pain and trauma associated with dressing change.The soft silicone adheres to surrounding dry surrounding skin but not to a moist wound.

The dressing is transparent, allowing observation of the wound site or primary dressing which minimises dressing change frequency. Vellafilm has a very high moisture vapour transfer rate.

Use

Remove the clear plastic liners and place directly over a wound or primary contact dressing ensuring an overlap of around 2cm. Vellafilm can be left in place for up to 7 days.

Top tip

Vellafilm can be written on with a regular ball point pen, for such information as dates and wound mapping.

Indications

All exuding wounds including:

Superficial epitheliasing wounds
Retention of primary wound contact layers and absorbent dressings
Surgical wounds

Contra-indications

Do not use if allergic to silicone.
