Can soft silicone enter the circulation or produce any undesirable systemic effects?

Soft silicone cannot enter the circulatory system. Silicone is insoluble in wound exudate and the silicone molecules are too big to penetrate through cell membranes or pass through the skin into blood vessels. They therefore cannot be transported around the body to produce any systemic effects.
