3M™ Adaptic™ Touch Non-Adhering Silicone Dressing is a flexible, non-adherent silicone wound contact layer. The low tack silicone facilitates dressing application, prevents secondary dressing adherence to the wound and is atraumatic upon removal. Its open mesh structure allows fluid transfer to a secondary dressing, minimising the risk of exudate pooling and maceration.1,2
