Siltape® soft silicone fixation tape from Advancis®
The Silflex®
technology has been incorporated into a tape application for securing primary
dressing or as a primary application on skin tears. Siltape does
not adhere to the moist wound bed yet seals on the dry skin while conforming to
the skin surface. The soft silicone allows for atraumatic removal providing
patients optimal comfort. Siltape comes
in two different width rolls with easy-tear perforated increments for clinic
safety and efficiency.
Scar management and other applications with silicone tape
Siltape and
Silflex products have been proven as an effective use to minimize scarring due
to the silicone properties. These
products have also been effective in preventing skin damage from use of
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as masks and face shields. Similar
applications to secure IV lines and use with respiratory equipment make Silflex
a safe choice. Additionally, patients with sensitive skin such as pediatrics
and the geriatric population appreciate the comforting benefits of easy
removal.
