Askina® DresSil Tri-layer Foam Dressing 5X7Cm - pack of 10 is an advanced solution for managing exuding wounds. Produced by the renowned brand B.BRAUN, this sterile dressing combines the effectiveness of foam absorption with the gentle adhesion of silicone, ensuring atraumatic and comfortable treatment for the patient.

Main features of Askina® DresSil

Askina® DresSil is designed with a three-layer structure that offers numerous advantages for wound care:

• Layer in contact with the wound: Made of medical silicone with a special architecture of holes, this layer allows the passage of exudate to the subsequent layer of polyurethane foam, maintaining atraumatic contact with the wound.


• Intermediate layer: Made of hydrophilic polyurethane foam, this layer effectively absorbs exudate in a "vertical" manner, preventing release under pressure and reducing the risk of maceration of the wound edges.


• Outer layer: A polyurethane film that is impermeable to liquids and bacteria, but permeable to gases, allowing tissue transpiration and maintaining an optimal moist environment for healing.

Indications for use

Askina® DresSil is indicated for the treatment of a wide range of exuding wounds, both partial and full thickness, including:

• Pressure ulcers


• Venous and arterial ulcers of the lower limbs


• Diabetic foot ulcers


• First and second degree burns


• Donor sites


• Skin lacerations

Benefits of Askina® DresSil

This dressing offers numerous benefits for wound management:

• Adaptability: The slight convexity on all four sides allows for optimal adaptation to the shape of the wound, preventing the edges from curling.


• Moist environment: Maintains the moist environment around the wound, promoting natural conditions for spontaneous healing.


• Protection: The outer polyurethane film protects the wound from external contamination, reducing the risk of infections.

How to use

To achieve the best results with Askina® DresSil, carefully follow these instructions:

1. Clean the wound with an appropriate solution (e.g., Prontosan® solution) following normal procedures.


2. Dry the perilesional skin.


3. Select a dressing of suitable size to cover the surface of the wound, ensuring that 2 to 3 cm of dressing remains beyond the edges of the wound.


4. Remove the protective sheet and apply the adhesive side (silicone) to the wound.


5. Adhere the dressing to the wound.


6. If necessary, secure Askina® DresSil with a secondary dressing.


7. During removal, lift one edge of the dressing and remove it slowly.

Conclusion

Askina® DresSil Tri-layer Foam Dressing 5X7Cm - pack of 10 is an excellent choice for managing exuding wounds. Thanks to its innovative structure and high-quality materials, it offers effective and comfortable treatment, promoting rapid and safe healing.
