Abstract
A surgical wound dressing wherein an elastomeric sheet of cured closed cell silicone foam forms a support layer. A silicone gel is applied to one surface of the foam sheet to form a skin-facing layer. The resultant wound dressing may be stretched and placed upon a person's skin to overlie a wound and provide a fluid impermeable barrier between the wound and the external environment. In addition, the closed-cell foam may be elastically compressed against the skin to reduce swelling and protect the wound from mechanical trauma during the healing process.
