Our Story

Dressings with Safetac^® technology create a faster wound healing environment.  Traditional adhesives may strip the skin, tear the wound and leak drainage back onto the skin – all these things delay wound healing. Dressings with Safetac^® technology are different because they don’t stick in the wound and don’t strip skin. Foam dressings with Safetac^® technology absorb drainage better than other dressings.   ⁹  They also provide a longer wear time, optimal moisture and temperature for undisturbed wound healing.

More than 40% of patients in one survey considered pain at dressing changes to be the worst part of living with a wound.  Pain from dressing changes is often a result of adhesives damaging the wound and skin.   Pain causes stress, and stress delays healing.   Dressings with Safetac® technology use a unique patented soft silicone adhesive technology. They are designed to be less painful during dressing changes   – feel the difference!

Nurse & Patient Preferred

In the largest survey of its kind, 3034 patients from 20 countries with a variety of wound types were interviewed. They compared various other dressings with Safetac^® technology dressings. Patients were asked to express which dressing they preferred. The results showed an overwhelming, statistically significant preference for dressings with Safetac^® technology, because they were less painful.
