Gentle removal, that won't even wake a sleeping baby

For many people, dressings are an integral part in their daily routine. However, the application and removal can have a negative effect on the skin, due to the adhesive. In addition to unnecessary pain, skin damage caused by a dressing can also increase the risk of infection, result in a larger wound and delay healing. This is especially true for fragile and compromised skin.

Who is affected?

Elderly

Older people are an ever-growing group whose ageing skin is becoming more fragile.

Infants

Infants’ skin is not yet fully developed and is therefore extra sensitive.

People on certain medications

Due to the regular usage of certain medications, the skin can become compromised and sensitive as a result.

People with frequent dressing changes

People who require frequent dressing changes often have compromised skin, increased by additional adhesive-related injuries.

People with disease-related fragile skin

Certain diseases may cause the skin to become fragile and sensitive.
