Cutimed® Siltec® L

is a thin, silicone coated, sterile, absorbent polyurethane foam dressing with superabsorbent stripes to additionally absorb and lock wound exudate. The wound contact surface allows adherence to the periwound skin but not to the moist wound bed or newly formed epithelial tissue.
 
  • Gentle to the wound bed 
  • Reliable exudate management

  • Water-repellent and breathable backing

Intended Purpose

Cutimed Siltec L is intended for the treatment of exuding wounds with low to moderate exudate levels such as venous and arterial ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical incisions, skin grafts and donor sites, lacerations or abrasions.

Wear time: Cutimed Siltec L can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on wound conditions and saturation of wound dressing.

Product benefits

Gentle to the wound bed

The skin-friendly, perforated silicone wound contact layer prevents adherence to newly formed tissue, protects wound margins and ensures atraumatic dressing changes.1 The silicone wound contact layer also allows an easy application and is readjustable.

Reliable exudate management

The vertical absorption ensures exudate is absorbed and kept inside the dressing. Superabsorbent stripes provide additional absorption capacity.2
