1 Enjoy the freedom of superior absorption New and improved

2 Fewer dressing changes The new Biatain Silicone delivers superior absorption, conformability and a secure fit Up to 50% reduction in dressing changes Patients and HCP s using the new Biatain Silicone can experience up to 50% reduction in dressing changes due to the superior absorption of Biatain Silicone 1,2. Fewer dressing changes support faster healing Offers more than 97% longer wear time compared with competitor product 3 Reduces nurse time leading to savings of up to a week per wound compared to competitor products 4 An average weekly savings per patient of was demonstrated in chronic wounds 5 In an evalaution in 5 District nurse bases 60% of practitioners were able to reduce the number of visits for dressing change purposes and 80% used fewer dressings 6 87% of health care professionals reported Biatain Silicone s ability to stay in place as very good or good in a 39 patient case series evaluation. 1.

3 Superior absorption As all Biatain dressings, the new Biatain Silicone has superior absorption Whether a wound is low, medium or high exuding, control of exudate is imperative to wound healing. Uncontrolled wound exudate delays healing making it very important that excess exudate is removed from the wound by an absorbent dressing 7. The ideal wound dressing with superior absorption will reduce peri-ulcer skin damage, reduce infection, reduce time to healing, and thereby improve the quality of life of the patients 9. This is where Biatain Silicone excels by delivering superior absorption and optimal moist wound healing 8. Bacteria and showerproof top film Lock away layer Conformable Biatain foam Silicone adhesive layer Allows patient to bathe/shower Superior absorption Reduces risk of periwound damage, maceration and infection Secure fit for high patient comfort Aseptic non-touch technique 3 piece non touch The new Biatain Silicone has a layered construction that locks in exudate and delivers superior absorption. Unique 3D polymer foam The conformability of the Biatain foam enables close contact with the wound bed for an optimal moist wound healing environment even under compression.

4 Gentle and secure fit The new Biatain Silicone delivers a gentle and secure fit for superb patient comfort and uncomprised superior absorption The design of new Biatain Silicone includes: A perforated, soft silicone adhesive wound contact layer ensuring a gentle fixation to the wound and skin providing less pain on dressing removal Easy and aseptic application due to 3 piece non-touch opening 87% of patients rated Biatain Silicone dressings as very comfortable or comfortable to wear All HCPs rated the product very easy or easy to remove In vitro testing of eight wound dressings with silicone adhesive, found that Biatain Silicone had the highest absorption capacity and permeability, even under compression 3 Total Fluid Handling Top Bar = Permeability Lower Bar = Absorption % 16% g/cm 2 /24hrs % % Biatain Silicone Mepilex Border Allevyn Gentle Border Aquacel Foam Allevyn Life
