Meet the TIELLE® Family
The TIELLE® Family has a unique design compared to ordinary foams:
- It contains LiquaLock® technology, which cleverly retains exudate while also letting moisture vapour pass through the dressing, helping to provide an optimal moist wound healing environment
- Managing exudate better helps wounds heal faster and increases patient comfort. For instance, in a clinical evaluation of 6993 patients TIELLE® dressings were proven to be clinically efficacious in all wound types studied, with 95% healing or improvement after 4 weeks of treatment, and to improve the patients’ quality of life1
- The TIELLE® Family comes in a wide range of sizes, shapes and absorbencies, allowing you to find a dressing that suits your patients’ needs

How TIELLE® Family Works
Comfort Plus for the wound
The TIELLE® Family has a pretty unique way of dealing with wound exudate
- As exudate is absorbed by the dressing, it is designed to expand and conform to the contours of the wound bed, which helps minimise exudate build-up and the chance of maceration
- Under normal use, the LiquaLock® technology locks fluid into the cell walls, which means reduced potential for it to be released back into the wound2-4
- From September 2011 all TIELLE® Family variants are more absorbent*, increasing by up to 41% in some variants* - look for the Comfort Plus sticker on the pack.
- The vapour-permeable backing allows moisture vapour to transfer through the back of the dressing, allowing for absorption of additional exudate
Comfort Plus for you
All the TIELLE® Family dressings are easy to use
- The adhesive dressings allow repositioning as needed on initial application yet stay where placed
- The non-adhesive dressings are cut-able and can be used for all levels of exudate
Comfort Plus for the patient
The TIELLE® Family provides a comfortable solution to meet your patients’ needs:
- TIELLE® and TIELLE® Plus control leakage and odour for better patient quality of life1,5
- The adhesive variants require no secondary dressing or tape but still allow for skin-friendly removal , due to the unique water-deactivated adhesive
- The polyurethane adhesive and backing provide a bacterial and contaminant barrier6
- TIELLE® Lite’s non-adherent layer ensures less pain on dressing removal, even in bleeding wounds2
Comfort Plus for the budget
- Cost-effective wound care relies on reducing the time to healing, but also on reducing the number of dressing changes needed
- The superior fluid handling7 of TIELLE® Plus and TIELLE® Xtra® means fewer dressing changes
- All TIELLE® Family dressings provide a wear time of up to seven days depending on wound condition and exudate level
