Wound care FAQ
Our experts have answered your top questions about wound care.
Clean the wound gently with either saline, cooled and boiled tap water, or drinkable tap water. Apply an appropriate dressing with the right level of absorption for the amount of exudate the wound is producing, and monitor for signs of infection.
After cleaning the wound with either saline, cooled boiled tap water, or drinkable tap water, apply an Opti-Heal dressing, such as
Silicone Foam or Ultra Thin Hydrocolloid, and ensure it's secured properly, considering the wound's location and any exudate.
Most Opti-Heal dressings can be worn for several days, typically up to 7. However, you should check for saturation or any signs of infection and change the dressing sooner if needed.
A wound dressing is a protective covering designed to support healing, manage moisture, and shield the wound from bacteria. Opti-Heal offers tailored solutions for various wound types, such as burns or post-surgical wounds, to promote optimal recovery.
A wet-to-dry dressing is a wound care method where a moist gauze dressing is applied to a wound, allowed to dry, and then removed, pulling away dead tissue and debris. Unlike traditional "wet to dry" methods, advanced dressings like Opti-Heal promote and maintain a moist healing environment. This approach allows for faster and better healing outcomes compared to wounds that are allowed to dry out.
For a burn, cool the area under cool boiled tap water or drinkable tap water. Gently pat it dry, then apply a burn-appropriate dressing like the Opti-Heal Hydration Multi-Purpose Dressing, which provides a soothing hydrogel layer.
Opti-Heal Silicone Scar Strips create a breathable, occlusive barrier over the scar. This barrier helps to hydrate the scar tissue, which in turn reduces redness, itchiness, and the thickness of the scar over time.
Silicone aids in scar improvement by forming a breathable layer that retains moisture. This helps to soften, flatten, and reduce the appearance of raised or red scars over time.
First, clean and dry the area around the scar. Then, apply the Opti-Heal Silicone Scar Sheets directly to the scar. For optimal results, wear them daily as directed.
Yes, silicone sheets, like Opti-Heal Silicone Scar Strips, are clinically proven to improve the appearance of hypertrophic and keloid scars when used consistently as directed.
Opti-Heal Silicone Scar Strips may help reduce the appearance of older scars. However, applying them earlier in the scar's development is generally more effective for noticeable results.

Opti-Heal Silicone Foam is a multi-layer wound dressing. It provides cushioning, effectively absorbs exudate (wound fluid), and allows for comfortable, often painless, dressing changes thanks to its secure, breathable seal.
