Klinion® Kliniderm® Foam Silicone is an absorbent polyurethane foam dressing with a soft silicone wound contact layer. The silicone layer protects the peri-wound skin and reduces pain during dressing changes. The foam core absorbs and retains exudate, while allowing partial evaporation to increase total absorption capacity. The dressing supports moist wound therapy.

Klinion® Kliniderm® Foam Silicone Dressings are indicated for low to moderately exuding acute and chronic wounds, including:

1. Clean the wound according to local protocols, and ensure the peri-wound skin is dry.

2. Choose a dressing size that overlaps the wound margins by at least 2 cm.

3. Gently apply the dressing to the wound and press down the adhesive border to secure it.

Removal: to remove, gently peel the dressing away until fully detached from the wound.

1. Klinion® Kliniderm® Foam Silicone dressings may remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on wound status and exudate levels.

2. Replace the dressing earlier if saturation is reached, or as clinically indicated (for example, post-operative dressing change when sutures are removed).

3. When removing, support adjacent skin and gently lift the dressing. If removal is difficult, moisten with sterile saline.

4. After removal, irrigate the wound or follow local wound care protocols as needed.
