SilSecure Technology Platform
Chitosan + sodium alginate composite core within a soft-silicone platform — a differentiated wound care solution.
Supports a Moist Wound Environment
Designed to maintain a protected, moist wound bed conducive to standard wound care and healing processes.
Supports Granulation Tissue Formation
Maintains a moist wound environment designed to support the conditions conducive to granulation tissue formation.
Protective Barrier Coverage
Provides a conformable, sealed barrier for secure site coverage, helping shield the wound from external environmental exposure.
Hemostatic Support (Preclinical Data)
Preclinical testing indicated faster bleeding control vs. control dressings — associated with chitosan and sodium alginate in the composite core.
Measured Exudate Absorption
Clinically measured fluid uptake (≥0.475 g/100 cm² baseline) manages wound exudate, prevents maceration, and maintains optimal moisture balance.
Supports Tissue Repair Environment
Designed to support standard wound care by maintaining a protected, moist wound environment intended to support tissue repair processes.
Supports Scar Management
Silicone-based design intended to support a favorable wound healing environment. Consult clinical literature for scar management guidance.
Reduces Allergic Reactions
Silicone composition reduces sensitization and irritation compared to traditional polyurethane and acrylic adhesives.
Chitosan
- • Hemostatic support (preclinical data)
- • Associated with platelet adhesion & fibrin support
- • Key differentiator — requested by clinical partners
Sodium Alginate
- • Measured fluid uptake ≥0.475 g/100 cm²
- • Enhanced variants ≥0.706 g/100 cm²
- • Supports moist wound environment
Soft Silicone
- • Designed for gentle, atraumatic removal
- • Repositionable without epidermal stripping
- • Reduced sensitization vs. acrylic adhesives
