Regulatory Note: Information on this page describes the intended design and performance goals of SilSecure™ dressings. Claims use supportive language consistent with FDA guidance on medical device marketing. SilSecure™ holds FDA 510(k) clearance. Documentation available upon request.
Exudate Management
Designed to Support a Moist Wound Healing Environment
The alginate component within SilSecure's composite core is designed to help manage wound exudate while supporting a moist wound healing environment. This is intended to help prevent maceration of surrounding tissue while avoiding desiccation at the wound bed.
Wound Environment
Moist & balanced
Designed to help prevent maceration and desiccation
Fluid Handling
Consistent
Intended to manage exudate across varying wound types
Periwound Skin
Protected
Designed to minimize maceration of surrounding tissue
Key Clinical Insights
- Designed to maintain a moist wound bed while preventing periwound maceration
- Composite core is engineered to balance fluid uptake with moisture retention
- Intended to support a stable healing environment across a range of exudate levels
MARSI Safety (Atraumatic Removal)
Soft-Silicone Adhesive — Engineered to Be Gentle on Skin
Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury (MARSI) is a common and often underreported complication of standard adhesive dressings. SilSecure's soft-silicone interface is designed to bond gently to skin, intended to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of trauma at removal — including across repeated dressing changes.
Adhesion Technology
Soft-silicone
Repositionable; designed to minimize epidermal disruption
Removal Experience
Atraumatic
Engineered to release gently from intact and fragile skin
Patient Populations
All risk levels
Suitable for elderly, pediatric, and oncology patients
Key Clinical Insights
- Soft-silicone interface designed to release from skin without disrupting the stratum corneum
- Repositionable dressing — can be lifted and reapplied without loss of adhesion
- Engineered to support atraumatic removal for fragile or compromised skin
Healing Progression
Designed to Help Maintain a Moist Wound Environment for Standard Wound Care
SilSecure dressings are designed to support standard wound care by maintaining a protected, moist wound bed and minimizing mechanical disruption during dressing changes. This environment may be conducive to wound healing processes, including conditions that could support granulation tissue formation.
Wound Environment
Moist & protected
Designed to support standard wound care
Closure Dynamics
May be supported
Intended to reduce disruption at dressing changes
Wear Duration
Up to 7 days
Sustained performance without compromise
Key Clinical Insights
- Designed to help maintain a moist wound environment that may support healing
- Minimizes wound disruption during dressing changes
- Supports continuity of care without disrupting healing tissue
Dressing Efficiency & Workflow Impact
Fewer Changes. Less Nursing Time. Better Resource Utilization.
The sustained performance of SilSecure dressings — up to 7 days continuous wear — is designed to reduce the frequency of clinical interventions required. This may translate to nursing time savings, reduced material costs, and lower patient exposure to dressing-change-associated discomfort and infection risk.
Max Wear Time
7 days
Continuous wear under normal conditions
Nursing Time Savings
Significant
Fewer changes per patient per week
Infection Exposure
Reduced
Fewer change events = fewer breach opportunities
Key Clinical Insights
- Reduces clinical intervention frequency per patient episode
- Lowers per-patient material and labor costs over the care cycle
- Minimizes patient discomfort associated with frequent dressing changes
Protective Barrier & Site Coverage
A Protected Healing Environment From Application to Removal
SilSecure's conformable silicone border creates a sealed perimeter around the wound bed, providing a protective dressing barrier designed for secure site coverage. Combined with reduced dressing change frequency, the system minimizes the number of wound exposure events.
Wound Seal
Conformable border
Reduces external contamination exposure
Exposure Events
Minimized
Fewer dressing changes = fewer contamination risks
Wound Bed Integrity
Maintained
Protected environment throughout wear cycle
Key Clinical Insights
- Maintains a protected, controlled healing environment throughout wear cycle
- May help reduce pathogen exposure risk associated with frequent dressing changes
- Supports overall wound bed integrity from application to removal
Integrated Performance
SilSecure™ — Designed for Integrated Wound Care Performance
This integrated design aims to support consistent healing conditions and an improved patient experience across clinical settings.
Consistent Healing Environment
Sustained moist wound environment is intended to support conditions that may be conducive to healing, and may help reduce variability in healing trajectories.
Gentle, Atraumatic Removal
Soft-silicone adhesion is designed to reduce pain and anxiety at removal, and may help lower the risk of Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury (MARSI).
Protected Wound Bed
A conformable silicone border creates a sealed perimeter intended to maintain wound bed integrity throughout the wear cycle.
