Key Features of Biatain Adhesive Dressings

Description Biatain Adhesive dressing consists of an absorbent soft polyurethane foam pad located centrally upon a larger polyurethane membrane coated with a hydrocolloid adhesive forming an island dressing. backing film is permeable to water vapour, but impermeable to microorganisms thus forming an effective bacterial barrier. When applied to an exuding wound, the polyurethane foam pad absorbs and retains excess exudate, whilst the film backing permits controls evaporative loss of moisture, which stops the dressing and wound from drying out thus maintaining a warm moist healing environment within the wound. Provided the adhesive border forms an effective seal with the peri-wound skin, the dressing is waterproof, and the patient may bathe or shower with it in place.
