Description

Biatain Fiber, developed by Coloplast, is an advanced wound dressing designed to manage moderately to highly exuding wounds. Its innovative HexaLock Technology integrates gelling fibers within a reinforced hexagon net, providing exceptional strength and integrity. This unique structure effectively locks in exudate and bacteria, minimizing shrinkage and ensuring the dressing maintains close contact with the wound bed.

Key Benefits

• High Absorption and Retention: Biatain Fiber excels in absorbing and retaining wound exudate, even under compression, reducing the risk of infection and maceration.
• Cohesive Gel Formation: Upon contact with exudate, the dressing forms a cohesive gel, allowing for easy, one-piece removal with minimal residue.
• Conformability: The dressing closely conforms to the wound shape, maintaining its position and effectiveness throughout wear.

Versatility and Ease of Use

Biatain Fiber is cuttable and flexible, available in both flat sheets and rope formats, making it adaptable to various wound shapes and sizes. Its moisture vapor permeability supports a balanced wound environment, while its design ensures pain-minimizing removal.

Suitable Applications

This dressing is suitable for a wide range of wounds, including:

• Diabetic ulcers
• Leg ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Oncology wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Partial-thickness burns

Usage Instructions

Biatain Fiber should be used as a primary dressing, directly in contact with the wound bed. It requires a secondary dressing, such as a silicone foam or compression dressing, and can remain in place for up to seven days or until maximum absorption is reached. It is recommended to use this product under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

Material Composition

The dressing is composed of non-woven sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) fibers and bicomponent fibers, reinforced by a thermobonded net. It is latex-friendly, containing no natural rubber latex, and is intended for single use only.

Performance and Recognition

Laboratory testing highlights its impressive absorption capabilities, with the ability to absorb up to ten times its own weight in fluid. Biatain Fiber supports autolytic debridement, promotes tissue granulation, and protects wound edges, contributing to a moist healing environment. Its design excellence has been recognized with the Red Dot “Product Design 2020: Innovative Product” award.

Biatain Fiber is suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings, offering a reliable solution for effective wound management. Its ease of application and removal enhances patient comfort, making it a preferred choice for healthcare providers.
