• Does not adhere to moist wound beds
• Adheres gently and securely to dry, intact surrounding size
• Atraumatic to the wound and surrounding skin on removal
• Maintains a moist wound environment
• Minimizes the risk of maceration
• Promotes patient comfort during wear
• Moisture proof and bacteria proof film backing

• Safetac layer - impedes horizontal leakage
• Absorption layer - ensures quick and effective absorption
• Spreading layer - spreads the exudate into the retention layer
• Retention layer - impedes exudate from being pushed back into the skin to reduce the risk of maceration
• Backing film - highly breathable; moisture and bacteria proof to protet the wound from outer contamination.

Safetac technology is less painful because it:

1) tacks gently to dry surfaces, like skin, but not to moist surfaces, such as open wounds

2) molds to the skin’s pores, covering more skin surface and spreading peel forces on removal to prevent skin stripping

3) seals the wound margins, ensuring exudate does not spread to the surrounding skin and minimizing maceration

Safetac technology’s soft silicone molds to the skin’s uneven surface pores, while other adherents simply stick to the tops on the skin’s surface.

This molding action is the secret to why Safetac technology is so effective at minimizing pain and preventing maceration.

After the wound has closed, proven scar treatments such as Cica-Care, Mepiform, or Kelo-Cote will improve the appearance of scars and prevent abnormal or excessive scar formation. Always consult your physician or wound care specialist before starting any wound care treatment program.
