Better Fit. Gentler Removal. Our Innovation for Wound Care. Wound Care, especially the dressing change, is a critical topic in healthcare, since it is often associated with new trauma. Silicone dressings have been the first step to a more patient-friendly and gentle wound care, but they sometimes don’t hold securely on patients’ skin. To overcome this issue, stronger silicone gels have been developed, but these can again cause new trauma. But what if we combined the benefits of both, soft and strong silicones, in one product? With Tacnera®, we developed a wound dressing technology that enables strong adhesion where fixation matters, while ensuring ultra-gentle contact where the skin is fragile. Tacnera® is an engineered system where foam, coating, and silicone work as one. Using two different silicones allows for varying degrees of tension on the application area. This ensures that wound dressings with Tacnera® stay secure and feel extra gentle at the same time. Dressings featuring Tacnera® are currently in the market approval process. Got curious?
