Vellafilm®
Semi-permeable adherent silicone film dressing
Vellafilm is a polyurethane film dressing with Silfix soft silicone contact layer, designed to protect the wound whilst minimising the pain and trauma associated with dressing change.The soft silicone adheres to surrounding dry surrounding skin but not to a moist wound.
The dressing is transparent, allowing observation of the wound site or primary dressing which minimises dressing change frequency. Vellafilm has a very high moisture vapour transfer rate.
Use
Remove the clear plastic liners and place directly over a wound or primary contact dressing ensuring an overlap of around 2cm. Vellafilm can be left in place for up to 7 days.
Indications
Superficial epitheliasing wounds, retention of primary wound contact layers and absorbent dressings, surgical wounds
Contra-indications
Do not use if allergic to silicone.
