Biatain Silicone Non-Border dressings from Coloplast are foam dressings with 3DFit Technology that do not have an adhesive border. They are designed for high absorption and retention under compression, minimizing the risk of leakage and maceration on fragile periwound skin. Because there is no adhesive edge, these dressings can be cut to fit wounds in areas that are difficult to dress, such as between toes and fingers or around the heel.

The non-border design makes these dressings well suited for use under compression bandaging, where an adhesive border is not needed and could interfere with the compression layer. They require a secondary fixation method such as medical tape, a retention bandage, or compression wrapping to hold them in place over the wound. The 3DFit foam core works the same way as in the bordered version - it absorbs exudate vertically and locks fluid within its structure while maintaining a moist wound healing environment.
Biatain Silicone Non-Border dressings are available in 7 sizes: 5 x 7.5cm, 7.5 x 7.5cm, 10 x 10cm, 12.5 x 12.5cm, 10 x 20cm, 15 x 15cm, and 20 x 20cm. The rectangular 10 x 20cm option is useful for longer wounds on the lower leg. All are sold in boxes of 5 or 10 depending on the size. They are not made with natural rubber latex.
If you need a self-adhering dressing that stays in place without tape, Biatain Silicone Bordered dressings have a gentle silicone adhesive border. For wounds with low to moderate exudate where a thinner profile is preferred, Biatain Silicone Lite offers a more flexible option. For wounds that are infected or at risk of infection, Biatain Silicone Ag provides antimicrobial silver protection. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance on selecting the right dressing.

Frequently Asked Questions ▾
How do you secure a Biatain Silicone Non-Border dressing?
Since there is no adhesive border, the dressing needs to be held in place with a secondary fixation method. Common options include medical tape around the edges, a tubular retention bandage, or compression wrapping. The choice depends on the wound location and whether compression therapy is being used. Your healthcare provider can recommend the best fixation method for your situation.
Can Biatain Silicone Non-Border dressings be cut to fit?
Yes. Because there is no adhesive border to compromise, these dressings can be cut to fit irregular wound shapes or hard-to-dress areas such as between toes and fingers, around the heel, or in skin folds. Cut the dressing to the appropriate size before removing it from the packaging to keep the wound contact surface clean.
Are these dressings suitable for use under compression bandaging?
Yes. Biatain Silicone Non-Border dressings are designed for high absorption and retention under compression. The 3DFit foam maintains its absorption capacity even when compressed, which makes them well suited for leg ulcers and other wounds managed with compression therapy. The compression wrapping also serves as the fixation method, so no additional tape is needed.
What sizes are available in Biatain Silicone Non-Border?
There are 7 sizes available: 5 x 7.5cm, 7.5 x 7.5cm, 10 x 10cm, 12.5 x 12.5cm, 10 x 20cm, 15 x 15cm, and 20 x 20cm. The range includes both square and rectangular formats. Choose a size that extends at least 1-2cm beyond the wound edges to allow for proper absorption and coverage.
How often should Biatain Silicone Non-Border 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 shows signs of saturation, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Wounds with heavier exudate will require more frequent changes.
