It has been shown that soft silicone adhesive does not cause trauma when removed from the skin. It has been described as ‘atraumatic’ for this reason.
Silicone adhesive removes less stratum corneum when compared to a composite hydrocolloid and polyurethane foam using an acrylic adhesive.
Soft Silicone adhesive is a material that adheres readily to intact dry skin but does not stick to the surface of a moist wound and does not cause damage upon removal.
