1. Isolation
The scaffold-like structure creates an isolation zone around the wound, designed to protect it from external forces.
2. Protection
Secure hydrocolloid adhesion designed to stick to the skin has shown to be 12x stronger2 than sutures.
3. Flexibility
Dynamic compression can maintain wound integrity while providing better flexibility.
4. Adjustability
Greater isolation from tension known to promote scarring.
Better outcomes
Superior scar quality
Faster closure
