Cutimed^® Siltec^®

is a 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 is indicated for exuding wounds such as venous and arterial ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers,surgical incisions, skin grafts and donor sites, lacerations or abrasions. Cutimed Siltec is recommended for wounds with low to high exudate levels.

Wear time: Cutimed Siltec 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, 3}

Water-repellent and breathable backing

The outer film is bacteria proof, water-repellent and ensures proper fluid evaporation for changing stages of saturation.

Can be cut to size

The dressing can also be cut to size, making it as comfortable for the patient as possible.
