</ul>

Biatain® Contact

Biatain&reg; Contact is a silicone contact layer indicated for the treatment of wounds and chronic or acute lesions, with various levels of exudate. Biatain Contact should be used in combination with a secondary absorbent dressing, such as Biatain Non-Adhesive. It can also be used as a protective layer, after appropriate fixation with adequate dressing, on non-exuding wounds or on fragile skin. On specific medical indications, it can also be used with compressive bandages.

Biatain Fiber with HexaLock Technology The pooling of wound exudate can occur when exudate is not managed effectively or when the wound bed is not covered by an absorbent dressing, leading to an increased risk of bacterial growth and infection. Unmanaged exudate can also leak onto the wound edges and the periwound skin, which may cause maceration and delay wound healing. HexaLock Technology gives Biatain Fiber the strength to manage exudate, reducing the risk of maceration and infection. Biatain Fiber is indicated for use in acute and chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers, leg ulcers (arterial ulcers, venous ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed aetiology), pressure ulcers (stage II-IV), exudate absorption in oncology wounds, traumatic wounds, partial-thickness burns, donor sites, and post-operative surgical wounds.
<h3>Key benefits</h3>
One important function of a gelling fiber is its ability to retain exudate, ensuring it does not leak back into the wound or on to the periwound skin. The unique HexaLock Technology integrates the gelling fibers in a reinforced hexagon net, giving Biatain Fiber strength to lock in exudate to reduce exudate pooling for optimal healing conditions.
If a gelling fiber shrinks when absorbing exudate, gaps between the dressing and the wound bed create space for exudate pooling. Upon contact with exudate Biatain Fiber conforms to the wound bed. Due to its HexaLock Technology the dressing maintains its shape, minimising the risk of gap creation and exudate pooling.
Caring for wounds where gelling fibers are indicated is already a challenging and time-consuming process. This challenge increases if the wound dressing disintegrates, requiring a piece by piece removal and creates uncertainty if all residue has been removed. Biatain Fiber forms a cohesive gel that ensures an easy one-piece removal with minimal risk of leaving residues in the wound.

Biatain® Fiber

Biatain Fiber with HexaLock Technology is an absorbent gelling fiber, for highly exuding wounds, sloughy wounds and cavity wounds including undermining. It is a soft, sterile primary wound dressing made of non-woven sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) fibers with bicomponent (BiCo) fibers and a thermobonded net added for strength. Biatain Fiber supports autolytic debridement and desloughing which promotes the wound healing process.

Unique 3D foam structure for superior absorption When in contact with exudate the unique 3D foam structure of Biatain&reg; conforms to the wound bed for superior absorption &ndash; even under compression (2,6).
Soft and flexible dressing Biatain&reg; Ibu is a soft and flexible dressing that delivers high patient comfort. The bevelled edges reduce risk of pressure marks (3).
Combines moist wound healing with local release of ibuprofen In the presence of exudate, there is a sustained release of a low dose of ibuprofen into the wound bed throughout the wear time of the dressing (up to 7 days) (1, 7).
Wound healing does not have to be painful Comparative studies have shown a reduction in wound pain in patients wearing Biatain&reg; Ibu compared with dressing's without ibuprofen (4,5).
Mode of action Ibuprofen is released when the foam comes in to contact with wound exudate (1,7).
Composition Biatain&reg; Ibu is an absorbent polyurethane foam that contains 0.5 mg/cm2 of ibuprofen homogeneously dispersed throughout the foam matrix (1).
Usage Biatain&reg; Ibu Non-Adhesive is indicated for a wide range of exuding wounds. This includes acute wounds such as second degree burns, donor sites, postoperative wounds and skin abrasions: and chronic wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and non-infected diabetic foot ulcers. Biatain&reg; Ibu is suitable for use in combination with compression therapy.

Biatain® Non-Adhesive

Biatain&reg; Non-Adhesive is a soft and conformable polyurethane foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains wound exudate (1,2). This ensures a moist environment for healing of exuding wounds (7,8).

Superior absorption due to unique 3D foam When in contact with exudate the 3D foam structure of Biatain&reg; Silicone Ag conforms closely to the wound bed for superior absorption - even under compression (2,3). The unique 3D foam structure absorbs the exudate vertically and locks the fluid away within its structure, still leaving the wound moist for optimal wound healing conditions. The close contact to the wound bed reduces dead space and minimises exudate pooling which can lead to infection (4).
Sustained silver release Silver complex with documented effect on bacteria commonly found in infected non-healing wounds, including MRSA, VR-E, ESBL-producing bacteria and Pseudomonas (2,3). The silver profile provides a sustained release of silver during the entire wear time (up to 7 days) (1).
Gentle and secure fit The silicone adhesive layer provides a secure fit to keep the dressing in place while ensuring minimal pain upon removal. The soft and flexible design of Biatain&reg; Silicone Ag ensures a close fit to wound and body, and the foam pad at skin level makes Biatain&reg; Silicone Ag suitable to wear under compression.
Intuitive to use Biatain&reg; Silicone Ag has 3-piece non-touch opening for an easy and aseptic application.
Product composition Biatain&reg; Silicone Ag is a soft and conformable polyurethane foam dressing that contains an ionic silver complex homogeneously dispersed throughout the foam matrix. The dressing has a semi-permeable, bacteria- and waterproof top film and a soft silicone adhesive layer.

Biatain® Soft-Hold

Biatain&reg; Soft-Hold is a soft and conformable polyurethane foam dressing with an adherent layer covering less than 50% of the foam surface (1). This allows both hands to be free during dressing application and removal.

Suitable for low to highly exuding wounds Fast absorption, distribution and retention of exudate enable full utilisation of the absorption capacity with minimal risk of maceration and leakage, even for highly exuding wounds. Optimal moist wound healing environment for faster healing The hydrocapillary pad rapidly absorbs exudate vertically and distributes it horizontally. The dressing's ensure an optimal moist wound healing environment for faster healing. The hydrocapillary pad absorbs the exudate that passes through the wound contact layer. The wound contact layer allows the exudate to pass through, maintaining a moist wound healing environment in low, medium and highly exuding wounds. All-in-one simple to use wound dressing Compared to other highly absorbing dressing's, Biatain® Super is a cost-effective solution with no need for additional wound contact layers (4). Mode of action The superabsorbent particles absorb and retain low, medium and high amounts of exudate. Fibres distribute the exudate through the pad to maximise absorption. A high Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate contributes to the superior exudate management capabilities. Composition Biatain® Super consists of a superabsorbent hydrocapillary pad with a semi-permeable, water- and bacteria proof top film, a hydrocolloid component for the adhesion and a non-adhesive wound contact layer. The non-adherent wound contact layer separates the absorbent pad from the wound and surrounding skin decreasing the risk of product sticking to the wound. The exudate passes through the wound contact layer and is absorbed by the absorbent pad. The pad rapidly absorbs exudate vertically and distributes it horizontally. Usage Biatain® Super can be used for the treatment of a wide range of exuding wounds, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, second degree burns, surgical wounds and skin abrasions. Biatain® Super is suitable for use under compression therapy. Biatain® Super is a highly absorbent hydrocapillary dressing providing an optimal, moist wound healing environment for exuding wounds. The hydrocapillary pad absorbs the exudate that passes through the wound contact layer. The wound contact layer allows the exudate to pass through, maintaining a moist wound healing environment in low, medium and highly exuding wounds. REFERENCES 1. Morris L.
