Description

Biatain, crafted by Coloplast, represents a sophisticated range of foam dressings tailored for managing exuding wounds. These dressings are constructed from hydrophilic polyurethane foam and are available in both adhesive and non-adhesive forms. Their primary function is to absorb wound exudate effectively, fostering a moist environment conducive to optimal healing.

Key Features

3D Foam Structure

• Conformability: The unique 3D foam structure closely conforms to the wound bed, providing superior absorption.
• Fluid Management: Locks away fluid, minimizing the risk of maceration and leakage.

Semi-Permeable Top Film

• Protection: Bacteria- and waterproof, safeguarding the wound from external contaminants.
• Moisture Maintenance: Ensures a moist wound environment for better healing outcomes.

Adhesive and Non-Adhesive Options

• Silicone Adhesive Layer: In adhesive versions, this layer offers secure fitment with minimal pain upon removal, gentle on fragile peri-wound skin.
• Non-Adhesive Version: Ideal for wounds with very fragile peri-wound skin, featuring beveled edges to reduce pressure marks and enhance comfort.

Compatibility and Longevity

• Compression Therapy: Suitable for use under compression bandages, enhancing wound management.
• Extended Wear Time: Can remain in place for up to 7 days, reducing dressing change frequency.

Hygienic Application

• 3-Piece Non-Touch Opening: Facilitates easy and hygienic application, ensuring convenience for healthcare providers.

Applications

Biatain dressings are versatile, suitable for a variety of chronic and acute wounds, including:

• Leg ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Non-infected diabetic foot ulcers
• Donor sites
• Post-operative wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Second-degree burns
• Skin abrasions

Variants

• Adhesive Layer: Features a soft silicone adhesive layer for superior absorption and retention.
• Size Options: Available in sizes ranging from 7.5cm x 7.5cm to 17.5cm x 17.5cm.

Biatain Non-Adhesive

• Design: Soft, conformable foam with beveled edges for comfort.

Biatain Silicone Non-Border

• Versatility: Suitable as both primary and secondary dressing, ideal for hard-to-dress areas.

Biatain Contact

• Silicone Contact Layer: Designed for use with secondary absorbent dressings, protecting non-exuding wounds or fragile skin.

Benefits

Biatain dressings are engineered to reduce dressing changes by up to 50%, promoting faster healing and enhancing patient comfort. Their soft, flexible nature ensures comfort even under compression. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Biatain-Ag outperforms standard Biatain in certain wound types, offering significant advantages in wound care management.
