Adhesive silicone foam dressing foam
Askina® DresSil is a non-bordered, multilayer self-adherent soft silicone wound dressing. It provides significant absorption capacity due to its excellent wicking properties and helps to maintain a moist wound environment conducive to natural healing. For low exuding wounds, the dressing can be left in place for up to one week allowing for longer undisturbed wound healing. The soft silicone adhesive layer helps to minimize trauma and pain during dressing changes.
The soft polyurethane foam conforms to the natural contours of the body making it comfortable to wear, while the waterproof outer layer protects the wound from dirt and bacteria.
Askina® DresSil is indicated for the management of low to moderately exuding wounds, partial to full thickness wounds, for the following wounds;
- Pressure ulcers
- Venous and arterial leg ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- First and second-degree burns
Askina® DresSil may also be used as an aid for the prevention of skin breakdown.
