Soft silicone dressings have been available for over 10 years and were developed to minimise the problems of pain and trauma at dressing change, to protect the periwound skin and promote comfort during wear. However, not all soft silicone dressings are the same and clinicians need to understand how different products vary when selecting the most appropriate dressing for the patient and the wound. This Made Easy looks at soft silicone dressings, when they are indicated and their role in preventing wound-related complications and improving outcomes.
