Vellafilm - Semi-permeable Adherent Silicone Film Dressing
Vellafilm - Semi-permeable Adherent Silicone Film Dressing
Product Description
Vellafilm is a transparent, atraumatic, polyurethane film dressing with Silfix soft silicone adherence. It is designed to protect the wound whilst minimising the pain and trauma associated with dressing change.
The soft silicone will adhere to surrounding dry skin but not to a moist wound. The clear film exhibits the optimum moisture vapour transfer rate. The dressing is transparent allowing observation of the wound site or primary dressing minimising dressing change frequency. The film backing acts as a bacterial barrier and has a low coefficient of friction to reduce potential tissue damage from sheer or friction.
Instructions for Use

- Gently dry the surrounding skin
- Remove from packaging and remove the clear liners
- place directly over a wound or primary contact dressing ensuring an overlap around the wound edges of at least 2cm
- Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight and keep dry
