MODE OF ACTION
The silicone coating derived from Safetac technology is unique and patented. Its properties are: - Maintenance of an optimal moist environment for healing. - Reduction of maceration phenomena by vertical drainage of exudates through the micro-perforations of the Safetac® coating ensuring no lateral leakage. - Atraumatic removal for the wound and painless for the patient thanks to gentle and selective adhesion allowing for the preservation of 100% of skin cells.
