What is the Systagenix TIELLE Silicone Border foam dressing?
The Systagenix TIELLE Silicone Border foam dressing is a 4 x 4 inch silicone foam dressing sold in a pack of 10. It combines LIQUALOCK technology with a soft silicone adhesive for gentle removal on fragile skin.
Is the Systagenix silicone foam dressing gentle on fragile skin?
Yes. Systagenix says the soft silicone adhesive is designed for gentle removal on fragile and sensitive skin. The wound contact layer is perforated and coated with that soft silicone adhesive.
How long can the Systagenix silicone dressing be worn?
Up to 7 days is the maximum wear time Systagenix lists for the 4 x 4 silicone foam dressing. Your healthcare professional should decide the actual change schedule for your wound. Please consult your doctor before use.
Can the Systagenix silicone dressing be used under compression?
Yes. Systagenix says the dressing locks fluid away even under compression bandaging, aiming to limit leakage. Use with compression only on the advice of a healthcare professional. Please consult your doctor before use.
What top cover does the TIELLE Silicone Border dressing have?
A 30-micron breathable polyurethane top cover sits on the TIELLE Silicone Border dressing, according to Systagenix. Beneath it sit a super-absorbent layer that spreads fluid and a hydropolymer foam with LIQUALOCK technology.
Can the TIELLE silicone dressing be repositioned on application?
Yes. Systagenix says the perforated soft silicone contact layer aids initial repositioning of the TIELLE silicone dressing. This means the dressing can be adjusted when it is first placed, as the label directs.
