Buy Silicone Dressings | Soft Gel Silicone Dressings

Silicone Wound Dressings are soft wound covers that are especially beneficial to individuals with fragile and sensitive skin. They are composed of cross-linked polymers supported with or bonded to fabric or mesh. These dressings prevent the formation and improve the appearance of keloid and hypertrophic scars. Silicone dressings easily stick to the dry surfaces but are non-adherent to moist wound beds. At Shop Wound Care, we offer a wide range of silicone wound dressings from various top-selling brands like Mepilex, Cutimed Siltec, Optifoam, Biatain, etc.
