White Silk Patch 50mm x 5m

The 50mm x 5m White Silk Plaster is a versatile and highly performing dressing device, designed to offer maximum comfort and protection in multiple healthcare situations. Thanks to its silk structure, the patch stands out for its excellent breathability and resistance, being delicate on the skin but very firm in adhesion, even in the presence of repeated movements or exposure to humidity. Particularly suitable for fixing dressings, cannulae, catheters and other medical devices, it is suitable for use in both domestic and hospital settings. The 50mm by 5 meter format guarantees long life and superior autonomy, allowing you to cut the desired length based on the specific needs of the person. White colour, discreet and professional effect even on sensitive skin.

The high dermatological tolerability means that the patch is also suitable for subjects with particularly delicate skin, newborns and the elderly. The silk and the special hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive minimize the risk of irritation, allowing prolonged use without compromising skin health or causing discomfort. The device is ideal for those looking for safety, practicality and comfort in a single product, maintaining excellent fixing efficacy and ease of removal without pain or unpleasant residues on the skin.

Therapeutic Indications

The White Silk Plaster is specifically indicated for the safe and stable fixation of dressings of all types, including bandages, gauzes and surgical covers on post-operative wounds or acute and chronic injuries. It is also recommended for holding venous cannulae, probes, catheters and medical devices that require an adherent but delicate support in position. Its particular properties make the patch the ideal solution also for the protection of skin areas subject to rubbing or microtraumas, reducing the risk of lacerations, blisters or redness.

Thanks to its highly breathable structure, the patch allows good oxygenation of the skin and promotes wound healing, limiting moisture stagnation and the formation of maceration. Use is particularly indicated in cases where a dressing that lasts over time without losing adhesive power is needed, even on mobile anatomical areas or areas subject to sweating such as joints, hands and feet. It is usually chosen in the nursing field, in the ward, in the emergency room and in home care to guarantee a safe and non-traumatic fixation.

Composition

The Silk Patch is made through the combination of a layer of natural silk coated with a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive. Natural silk constitutes the load-bearing base of the patch and gives it softness, elasticity and tear resistance, ensuring conformability to any anatomical profile. The acrylic adhesive, specifically designed to minimize allergic and irritative phenomena, ensures excellent adhesion and painless removal, without leaving traces or compromising the integrity of the underlying skin.

The composition of each individual element is designed to offer maximum comfort: the silk weave is dense but light, making the patch discreetly opaque and invisible under light clothes. It does not contain latex, parabens or potentially sensitizing chemicals, making it well tolerated even by the most fragile skin. The adhesive is applied uniformly over the entire surface in contact with the skin, for homogeneous fixing and constant protection throughout the entire period of use.

Contraindications

The White Silk Patch must not be used in case of known hypersensitivity or allergy to one or more of the components, such as natural silk or acrylic adhesive. Not recommended on infected or uncleansed skin lesions, on skin with active dermatitis, deep burns or advanced ulcers where a less occlusive type of fixation or one specifically designed for those conditions may be preferable. If redness, persistent itching or local irritation appears after application, it is advisable to immediately discontinue use of the product.

Do not use the patch in the presence of extensive skin damage or pathologies that require sterile materials if the patch itself has not been supplied in guaranteed sterile conditions. It is recommended not to apply the product on mucous membranes, eyes, mouth or very sensitive areas where removal could be painful or traumatically abrasive.

Safety of the drug for the species

The White Silk Patch offers a high skin safety profile for all age groups, including newborns, children and the elderly, thanks to the hypoallergenic nature of its components. Dermatological studies and clinical use experience have shown that the risk of unwanted reactions is very low, even following prolonged applications. The absence of latex in the composition reduces the risk of cross-allergic reactions or manifestations of hypersensitivity, a particularly important characteristic in atopic subjects or with a history of contact allergies.

The non-sensitizing adhesive has been tested to guarantee painless removal: the patch is in fact easily removed without tearing hairs or leaving sticky residues, avoiding pain and microtraumas typical of traditional plasters. In case of repeated application on the same point, however, it is preferable to periodically check the skin for any signs of irritation or redness. Under normal conditions, safety of use is ensured, making the patch also suitable for prolonged use such as in the management of bedsores, post-surgical wounds or chronic home treatments.

Precautions

Although made with carefully selected materials to reduce the risk of skin sensitization, it is recommended to apply the White Silk Patch only to intact, clean and dry skin to ensure maximum adhesion. Before application, ensure that the skin is completely free from grease, creams or detergents which could reduce the effectiveness of the adhesive. Do not overtighten the patch, so as not to impede blood circulation under the fixing area.

In the presence of abundant sweating, high environmental temperatures or continuous exposure to liquids, the patch could reduce its adhesive capacity; in these cases we recommend regular monitoring of the seal and replacement if necessary. Do not reuse the patch after removal, as the loss of adhesion compromises the protection and fixing function. After removal, check the skin to exclude the presence of unwanted reactions: in case of suspicious signs, contact a healthcare professional.

Method of administration

The Silk Plaster is packaged in a roll and allows you to cut the desired length with simple scissors or even by hand, following the robust texture of the silk which facilitates clean tearing without fraying. To promote maximum adhesion and comfort of use, it is recommended to apply the patch after having appropriately prepared the skin area, avoiding the formation of folds or air bubbles under the adhesive surface. Once the ideal length has been chosen, the protective flap must be removed gradually, delicately adhering to the entire surface to be fixed.

If you need to compress bulky dressings or fix plastic supports (such as cannulae or probes), it is possible to wrap the patch several times thanks to the good resistance of the silk. Removal must be carried out with slow and constant movements, starting from one end and gradually lifting the edge to minimize any annoying traction on the surrounding skin or hair.

Treatment program

The use of the White Silk Plaster 50mm x 5m may vary based on medical needs and the type of fixation required. If standard dressings are fixed, we recommend replacing them every 24-48 hours, or according to medical indications or when a reduced adhesive power of the device is detected. In situations where prolonged protection is required (such as covering post-surgical wounds or catheter insertion sites), visual inspection and maintenance of the skin under the patch are essential: replace the patch immediately if signs of maceration, redness or allergy are observed.

The application can be continuous on non-infected and appropriately cleansed areas, adapting length and width to different clinical contexts and the size of the dressings. For patients who need constant fixation of tubes or devices, it is possible to use the patch for longer periods, making preventive changes to always guarantee maximum safety and hygiene. In the presence of intense sporting activity or repeated contact with water, we recommend checking the patch more frequently and, if necessary, replacing it promptly.

Target species

The 50mm x 5m White Silk Patch is intended for human use only. It can be used by healthcare workers, nursing staff, caregivers and private citizens to ensure secure attachment of dressings, medical devices and supports on people of all ages, including infants, children, adults and the elderly. Suitable for application in hospital, outpatient and home settings, it represents a reliable and professional solution for the daily management of medications and skin protection needs.
