Suprasorb® P sensitive
Silicone Foam Dressing
Suprasorb P sensitive is a silicone foam dressing especially for sensitive skin61) . Its multilayer construction provides dynamic exudate management for an optimal moist wound environment62) . The silicone wound contact layer minimises the risk of adhesion to the wound and pain for the patient during dressing changes63) . The outer protective film is waterproof and repels bacteria, while also being permeable to water vapour.
Suprasorb P sensitive is available in three versions depending on the degree of exudate: “border”, “border lite” and “non-border”
Versions
heel (with super-absorbent core)
sacrum (with super-absorbent core)
multisite border (with super-absorbent core)
multisite border lite (without super-absorbent core)
tracheo (without super-absorbent core)
