Advasil Conform

A sheet of medical grade self-adherent silicone gel for the management of scar tissue or recently healed wounds. Composed of a conformable layer of translucent Silfix silicone gel and a smooth polyurethane outer layer to improve wearability and patient compliance. Silicone gel sheets are reported to help reduce the effects of scarring if worn for prolonged periods. Hypertrophic and keloid scarring may particularly benefit from Advasil Conform. Advasil Conform is made from medical grade silicone approved for skin contact. Advasil Conform is supplied sterile for improved hygiene but once opened is non-sterile. 

Indications for use:
• Hypertrophic and keloid scars

Benefits:
• Can be shaped to optimise coverage of scar area
• Conformable
• Washable
• Reusable for up to 28 days
• Self-securing with gentle release

Silflex

A wound contact non-adherent dressing made from polyester mesh coated with Silfix soft silicone. Silflex is designed to gently adhere to the skin surrounding a wound and not to the wound bed this minimises the pain and trauma associated with dressing change. The dressing allows the passage of exudate.

Indications for use:
• Skin tears
• Skin abrasions
• Surgical wounds
• Second degree burns
• Lacerations
• Leg and pressure ulcers
• Topical negative pressure (primary dressing)

Benefits:
• Adheres only to dry skin not to a moist wound
• Atraumatic soft silicone, reduced pain on dressing change
• Allows passage of exudate
• Hydrophobic Silfix soft silicone coating
• Soft and conformable

Siltape

Siltape is a soft silicone fixation tape delivered on a handy roll with perforations for ease of use, no scissors are required.
Siltape can be used in any situation where a regular adhesive tape would be used. It is particularly useful where friable or sensitive skin is an issue. It is ideal for use on paediatrics and neonates. Siltape is a suitable solution to taping down eyelids for theatre. Siltape is great for  securing IV lines and fistula needles as it can be repositioned with no loss of adherence and with atraumatic soft silicone. Small incision sites such as biopsies can be covered with Siltape with no harm to the wound or  surrounding skin. Siltape is ideal for protecting friable tissue from pressure damage or sores from tubing; this is especially useful on the face and tops of ears. Siltape can be applied directly to the skin and tubing placed on top. 

Indications for use:
• Dressing retention
• Taping down eyelids (in theatre)
• Securing IV lines
• Over small incision sites
• Under oxygen masks on bridges of noses
• Securing fistula needles
• Protection from pressure damage or sores from tubing

Benefits:
• Atraumatic soft silicone, reduced pain on change, adjustment or removal
• Soft and conformable
• Adheres only to dry skin not to a moist wound
• Easily adjustable with no loss of adherence

Vellafilm

Vellafilm is a transparent atraumatic polyurethane film dressing with Silfix soft silicone adhesive. It is designed to protect the wound whilst minimising the pain and trauma associated with dressing change. The soft silicone will adhere to surrounding dry skin but not to a moist wound. The clear film exhibits the optimum moisture vapour transfer rate. The dressing is transparent allowing  observation of the wound site or primary dressing minimising dressing change frequency.  The film backing acts as a bacterial barrier and has a low coefficient of friction to reduce potential tissue damage from sheer or friction.

Indications for use:
• Superficial epithelialising wounds
• Retention of primary wound contact layers and absorbent dressings
• Surgical wounds

Benefits:
• Atraumatic soft silicone, reduced pain on dressing change
• Soft and conformable
• Adheres gently only to dry skin, not to a moist wound
• Transparent
• Optimal MVTR
• Bacterial barrier
• Reduces sheer and friction
