Biatain Silicone Bordered dressings from Coloplast are self-adhering foam dressings with a gentle silicone adhesive border that holds the dressing securely in place without sticking to the wound bed. The 3DFit Technology foam core conforms closely to the wound surface to reduce exudate pooling and support a moist healing environment. These dressings are commonly used for moderate to highly exuding wounds including pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical wounds.

The silicone adhesive border allows the dressing to be repositioned during application without losing its seal, and it minimizes pain and skin trauma at removal. The top film is waterproof and breathable, which means you can shower briefly without removing the dressing. Each dressing can be worn for up to 7 days depending on wound conditions and exudate levels.
Biatain Silicone Bordered dressings are available in 5 square sizes: 7.5 x 7.5cm, 10 x 10cm, 12.5 x 12.5cm, 15 x 15cm, and 17.5 x 17.5cm. All are sold in boxes of 5 or 10 depending on the size. They are not made with natural rubber latex.
If your wound has low to moderate exudate and you need a thinner dressing, consider Biatain Silicone Lite. For wounds where adhesive contact with surrounding skin should be avoided, or where the dressing needs to be cut to shape, Biatain Silicone Non-Border may be more appropriate. For wounds that are infected or at risk of infection, Biatain Silicone Ag dressings provide antimicrobial silver protection. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance on selecting the right dressing.

Frequently Asked Questions ▾
What sizes are available in Biatain Silicone Bordered?
Biatain Silicone Bordered dressings come in 5 square sizes: 7.5 x 7.5cm, 10 x 10cm, 12.5 x 12.5cm, 15 x 15cm, and 17.5 x 17.5cm. The dressing size includes the adhesive border, so the actual wound pad area is smaller than the overall dimensions. Choose a size that allows the adhesive border to contact intact skin around the wound edges.
How often should Biatain Silicone Bordered dressings be changed?
These dressings can be worn for up to 7 days depending on the amount of wound exudate. Change the dressing when exudate reaches the edge of the foam pad, if the dressing begins to lift, or as directed by your healthcare provider. More heavily exuding wounds will require more frequent changes.
Can I shower with a Biatain Silicone Bordered dressing on?
Yes. The dressing has a waterproof and breathable top film that allows brief showering without removing it. It is not designed for prolonged submersion such as bathing or swimming. If the edges begin to lift after showering, the dressing should be changed. Always follow the instructions for use included with the product.
Can Biatain Silicone Bordered dressings be repositioned during application?
Yes. The silicone adhesive allows the dressing to be gently lifted and repositioned during application without losing its ability to seal. This is helpful when placing the dressing over a wound in a difficult location. Once in position, the adhesive border provides a secure hold throughout the wear period.
Are Biatain Silicone Bordered dressings latex-free?
Yes. According to Coloplast, Biatain Silicone dressings are not made with natural rubber latex. If you have specific allergy concerns, review the product packaging or contact Coloplast directly at 1-866-293-6349 for detailed material information.
