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

Since silicone is inert, it does not interact chemically with the wound or have any effect upon the cells responsible for the healing process. Furthermore, because soft silicone dressings are easily removed, they do not traumatise the wound or the surrounding skin and therefore do not interfere with wound healing.
