Silicare ® Border consists of carefully engineered 5 layers
that work together to support effective wound management
Wound contact layer
A soft silicone adhesive (Silitec) ensures gentle adherence and atraumatic removal..
Absorbent pads
A three-layer structure consisting of an absorbent foam core, a non-woven distribution layer, and a super-absorbent fibre layer (SAF) which lock exudate into gel to prevent its return to the wound, allowing flexibility and conformability to the wound site.
Outer PU film
A breathable yet water-repellent barrier that protects the wound from external contaminants while maintaining moisture balance.
