Can soft silicone have any effect upon a wound or the wound-healing process?

Silicone is static so it does not interact chemically with the wound or effect the cells aiding in the healing process. Again, the wound healing process is not disturbed when taking off the dressing since soft silicone dressings can be taken off easily and do not traumatise the wound or the surrounding skin.
