• Safetac Technology:
  - Safetac is a soft silicone adhesive patented technology that minimizes pain patient and trauma wounds
  - It is less painful because it gently adheres to dry surfaces, like skin, but not to the surfaces wet and open wounds
  - Wraps the skin pores, thus covering over the surface of the skin, which results in a reduction of strength and thereby the trauma when removal of the dressing
  - Seals the wound margins, ensuring that exudate does not spread to the skin surrounding and minimizing maceration
