Description
Superior absorption due to unique 3D foam
When in contact with exudate the unique 3D foam structure of Biatain ® Silicone conforms closely to the wound bed for superior absorption - even under compression (3). The unique 3D foam structure absorbs the exudate vertically and together with the lock-away layer it locks away the fluid within its structure, still leaving the wound moist for optimal wound healing conditions. The fluid handling properties of Biatain® Silicone ensure control of exudate thus minimising risk of leakage and maceration.
Gentle and secure fit
The silicone adhesive layer provides a secure fit to keep the dressing in place while ensuring minimal pain upon removal (1,2). The soft and flexible design of Biatain® Silicone ensures a close fit to wound and body, and the foam pad at skin level makes Biatain® Silicone comfortable to wear – even under compression (2).
Intuitive use
Biatain® Silicone has a 3-piece non-touch opening for an easy and aseptic application.
Fewer dressing changes
Due to superior absorption, you can experience up to 50% reduction in dressing changes (3,4).

FAQ
Biatain is a brand of wound care dressings produced by Coloplast, a Danish healthcare company. The dressings are used in the management of various types of wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers. They are made from a combination of foam and a soft, absorbent pad, and are designed to provide cushioning, absorb moisture, and promote healing.
Biatain Border and Biatain Non-Border are two types of wound dressings produced by Coloplast.
Biatain Border dressings have a border or adhesive rim around the wound-facing side that helps to keep the dressing in place, reduce the risk of leakage, and make it easier to apply. These dressings are intended for use on wounds with well-defined edges that are not under tension, such as pressure ulcers and venous leg ulcers.
Biatain Non-Border dressings, on the other hand, do not have an adhesive border. They are designed to be used on wounds with irregular edges, such as diabetic foot ulcers, where the adhesive border could potentially damage the surrounding skin. The non-border dressings are held in place by a secondary fixation, such as a compression bandage.
Both types of Biatain dressings provide a moist wound environment, which is believed to aid the healing process. The choice between Biatain Border and Biatain Non-Border will depend on the characteristics of the wound and the individual needs of the patient.
Biatain foam is a type of wound dressing produced by Coloplast. The foam is made from a soft and absorbent material that is designed to provide cushioning, absorb excess moisture, and promote healing. Biatain foam dressings come in several different types, including:
- Biatain Soft: A soft and flexible foam dressing that is designed to conform to the contours of the body and provide comfortable protection.
- Biatain Ag: An antimicrobial foam dressing that contains silver to help prevent the growth of bacteria in the wound.
- Biatain Ibu: A foam dressing that is impregnated with ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), to help manage pain and reduce inflammation.
- Biatain Silicone: A foam dressing that is coated with a layer of silicone to help reduce friction and shear on the wound and surrounding skin.
The choice of Biatain foam dressing will depend on the specific needs of the patient, including the type and severity of the wound, any underlying conditions, and the individual's response to different types of dressings.
Biatain Alginate is a type of wound dressing produced by Coloplast that is made from alginate, a natural polymer derived from seaweed. Alginate dressings are commonly used in the management of exuding wounds, such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and surgical wounds.
Biatain Alginate dressings are designed to provide a moist wound environment that is believed to be beneficial for wound healing. The alginate fibers absorb exudate and form a gel-like matrix that helps to maintain a moist environment in the wound. This moist environment can help to reduce pain, promote tissue granulation, and prevent the formation of scar tissue.
In addition, the alginate fibers in Biatain Alginate dressings can help to prevent the wound from drying out, which can be particularly beneficial for wounds that are slow to heal or prone to infection. Biatain Alginate dressings can also be used in conjunction with other wound care products, such as wound gels and creams, to provide additional support for the healing process.
