Cutimed Siltec Sacrum, Wound Dressing

Sacral-shaped silicone foam dressing with an adhesive border—anatomically contoured to fit the sacrum.

Description

The sacrum is the most common site for pressure ulcers and also the most difficult to dress: a rounded area with a gluteal fold, subject to constant pressure and movement. Cutimed Siltec Sacrum is anatomically contoured to this area and covers it without wrinkling.

The dressing combines the properties of the highly absorbent Cutimed Siltec foam dressing: a silicone adhesive border that requires no secondary fixation, super-absorbent technology, and a silicone film on the side in contact with the wound. Suitable for light to moderate levels of exudate.

Key Features

• anatomical sacrum shape
• highly absorbent foam dressing with silicone adhesive border
• Super-absorbent technology
• Silicone film on the wound-contact side protects the surrounding tissue
• No secondary fixation required
• Not made with natural rubber latex
• Sizes: 17.5 × 17.5 cm and 23 × 23 cm

Indications

• Pressure ulcers on the sacrum
• Wounds with mild to moderate exudate
• Secondary-healing wounds on the coccyx

Summary

On the sacrum, the shape determines the fit: A rectangular dressing cut to size will come loose in the gluteal fold within hours. The unique anatomical shape is not a matter of comfort here, but a necessity.
