RespoSorb® Silicone Border

Formerly known as Zetuvit® Plus Silicone Border. Silicone superabsorbent dressing with a border for optimal moisture management

A new generation of Silicone SAP dressing that's redefining effective wound care.

Versatile, Effective, and Patient Friendly.

The RespoSorb® Silicone Border is a versatile, self-adhesive silicone-SAP dressing for use on a wide range of wounds. It is available in many sizes and shapes, adapting to various body contours. Thanks to the special silicone wound contact layer, it is easy to change the dressing. The transparent backing is waterproof and yet breathable. Three additional, highly functional layers inside securely lock away absorbed wound fluid while reducing factors that inhibit wound healing.

  • Reduce risks of leakage strikethrough and odour
  • Stays in place for up to 7 days even when showering
  • Comfortable during wear time, almost painless dressing changes

No additional contact or fixation layer is needed

RespoSorb® Silicone Border benefits from a transparent silicone border that protects the peri woundskin and is designed to keep the peri woundskin area visible, which can be cut to aid application when needed. In addition, RespoSorb® Silicone Border features a backing film, which is showerproof, breathable, bacteria and viral proof15.
