technology is less painful because:
Traditional adhesives only adhere to the top of skin pores, and must stick harder to stay in place. Safetac soft adhesive conforms to the skin’s pores, sealing the wound.
Exudate is able to travel through the dips and valleys between pores, spreading outward and increasing the risk for maceration. Using Safetac, exudate has nowhere to go, stopping the spread and helping to prevent maceration.
Because of the force needed to stick to the tops of pores and the smaller contact area, sheer forces can strip skin at removal. Safetac is in contact with much more skin area, spreading peel forces to avoid skin being stripped at dressing removal.
