Smith & Nephew Duratouch Silicone Wound Contact Layer

Duratouch is an open mesh, soft silicone wound contact layer that allows exudate to pass through to the secondary dressing. The soft silicone provides gentle adhesion to the surrounding skin as well as adhering to the secondary absorbent layer. The soft silicone contributes to minimal trauma on removal, thereby helping to protect the wound bed.

Features & Benefits:

Open mesh structure

  • Allows fluid transfer to an absorbent secondary dressing to avoid wound maceration
  • Enables application of topical treatment/hydrogels (e.g. Intrasite)

Double sided soft silicone coating

  • Minimal trauma to wound on removal
  • Gentle adhesion to the peri-wound skin
  • Allows for fixation of the dressing whilst protecting the wound bed from the absorbent secondary dressing

Highly conformable

  • Can be moulded, folded or cut to meet a wide range of wound shapes and sizes

Transparent

  • Provides improved wound visibility

Can be left in place for up to 14 days

  • Simplifies dressing changes and saves on wound contact layer changes and valuable nursing time
  • Prevents tissue ingrowth into the wound filler
  • Aids in the removal of the wound dressing thereby minimising pain
