Standard
Shield Standard features a borderless silicone contact layer protecting the intact fish skin. It allows for cutting the fish skin and protective silicone to easily fit inside the wound edges and prevents the product from tenting over deeper wounds. Both fish skin and soft silicone layers are fenestrated to allow adequate wound drainage, which both helps to protect the wound surface.
