2 Gentle s Silitac adhesive takes the dread out of dressing changes. Gentle on patients. Tough on exudate. Dressing changes can be painful for the patient and traumatic to the skin. But not with Gentle. This new, super absorbent foam dressing features our unique Silitac adhesive on the border of the dressing. This specially formulated silicone adhesive keeps the dressing in place, while allowing you to reposition and remove the dressing without harming the periwound skin. But it s not only the adhesive the makes Gentle so gentle... Gently absorbs The super absorbent polymer core effi ciently absorbs high volumes of harmful exudate, locking it into the core to protect against maceration. Gently retains Inside the core, exudate is converted to a gel that s kept away from the wound, even under compression. Gently adjusts The core continually adapts the absorption level to match the amount of wound drainage, creating an optimal, moist wound healing environment. Gently protects Two layers of foam combined with the gelling core help cushion the wound. Gently adheres The Silitac adhesive on the border, combined with a non-adherent foam wound contact layer, is gentle on the skin. Making dressing changes as pain free as possible is one of the best things we can do for patients. Gentle helps make that happen.

3 The family s Liquitrap core locks in exudate to help protect the skin. Most foam dressings act like a sponge, absorbing a lot of fl uid. The problem is, just like a sponge, the fl uid can leak out if pressure is applied. When fl uid pools on or around the wound and periwound area, it can lead to maceration. changes all that with the Liquitrap super absorbent core, found in all our dressings. Exudate is vertically wicked into the core. In a matter of minutes, the harmful exudate is converted into a gel, and locked away from the wound. s super absorbent core not only absorbs more, but retains it too! All this, while providing an optimal moist wound healing environment. The family redefines what a foam dressing can do. Thermo-formed multi layer construction designed to reduce shearing forces Tapered edges to enhance patient comfort Protective fi lm backing creates a barrier to moisture and bacteria High moisture vapor transmission rates Gentle border technologies that adhere well to the skin but that release gently May be used under compression bandages

But 0.5 perhaps the most impressive feature is the Liquitrap core 0.2 Absorbency (g/cm2) designed to absorb and retain more fl uid. A Leading Competitor Retains More Waterproof, Breathable Film The fi lm provides a waterproof protective backing that keeps out fl uid, while still providing a high MVTR. Absorbency is important, but a dressing needs to retain the fl uid, keeping it away from the wound. retained twice as much fl uid under compression than a leading silicone faced foam dressing. 2 Cushioning Foam Provides additional comfort and protection. Liquitrap Core Fluid is converted to a gel that remains locked in the core, protecting surrounding skin from maceration Fluid Retention After Compression (g/cm2) Non-Adherent Foam Facing Vertically transfers fl uid away from the wound and into the super absorbent core A Leading Competitor 1,2 Independent laboratory study.
