Vitale® Silicone Super-Absorbent Dressings are highly absorbent dressings for wounds with light to heavy drainage. The absorbent pad is surrounded by a waterproof but vapor permeable border. The adhesive is soft, flexible silicone for maximum patient comfort and nursing convenience. Vitale Silicone Super-Absorbent Dressings may be used as a primary dressing in direct contact with the wound bed, or as a secondary (cover) dressing over an appropriate wound filler or other primary dressing

This dressing is composed of 4 important layers

• The Silicone Contact Layer covers the entire patient contact surface. It allows transmission of fluids to the foam, while helping maintain the ideal moist environment for healing. Silicone reduces pain and trauma during dressing application, inspection, and at change time.
• The perforated Silicone film behind the Silicone Adhesive Contact Layer provides firm support for the silicone adhesive and has many holes in it to allow moisture to penetrate
• The highly absorbent super-absorbent fiber pad rapidly absorbs exudates and holds them until dressing change time
• The outer film, breathable yet waterproof, is a barrier to bacteria and other microbes.
