Silicone materials are widely used in wound dressings due to their softness, breathability, and skin-friendliness. Traditional dressings can cause secondary injury during removal, but silicone gel dressings minimize pain and tissue damage. These dressings gently adhere to the skin without sticking to the wound, making them ideal for chronic wounds, burns, and post-surgical care.


Silicone dressings also offer excellent biocompatibility and water resistance. They maintain a moist healing environment while acting as a barrier against external bacteria. Recent innovations have incorporated antimicrobial, antioxidant, and drug-release features into silicone-based composite dressings, expanding their role in managing complex wounds.


As medical technology advances, silicone wound dressings are becoming standard in modern wound care, with growing applications in elderly care, diabetic ulcers, and burn rehabilitation.
