RespoSorb Silicone Border

RespoSorb® Silicone Borderr is a SAP wound dressing for long-term treatment of acute and chronic wounds, with moderate to high levels of exudate. It absorbs exudate with bacteria and proteases contained therein and binds it in the absorbent core. A moist wound environment is maintained in the process. RespoSorb® Silicone Border features a micro-adherent silicone interface and adhesive borders, so no additional materials are required to secure the dressing. The dressing changes can be carried out atraumatically and almost painlessly. The backing film is bacteria and
showerproof.

RespoSorb® Silicone Border can be used in context of compression therapy.

• Clean the wound using a physiological solution or as instructed by a clinician.
• Select a suitable dressing size and shape for the wound, ensuring that the green absorbent pad exceeds the wound margins by approx. 1 to 2 cm. Do not cut the green
absorbent pad. The transparent border can be cut to adapt the dressing to specific body areas.
• Before applying the dressing, after rinsing the wound, make sure that the surrounding skin is dry by using swabs to ensure that the dressing adheres.
• Remove all protective sheets. Place the adherent side of the dressing onto the wound, so that the green side faces away from the wound.
• Press down the adhesive edges firmly and avoid wrinkles in the border to ensure the dressing stays securely in place.
• No additional fixation is required. If indicated, compression bandages can be applied as instructed by a clinician.
• The dressing can remain on the wound for up to 7 days, depending on the condition of the wound and the established clinical protocol.
• The dressing must be changed if clinically indicated or when exudate reaches the rim of the green absorbent pad.
