Askina® DresSil Active Heel
Askina® DresSil Active HeelAdhesive silicone multilayer dressing with border
Askina® DresSil Active Heel is a heel multilayer silicone dressing with border designed to provide active exudate management.
Its multilayer structure improves exudate retention and absorption while maintaining the adequate moisture level in the wound1. This may reduce the frequency of dressing changes, thereby saving nursing time and allowing more time to be dedicated to patients and their care2.
Askina® DresSil Active Heel is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as:
- Pressure ulcers
- Leg and foot ulcers
- Traumatic wounds (e.g. skin tears)
- Surgical wounds
It can also be used on dry/necrotic wounds in combination with gels. The dressing may also be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to help prevent skin damage, e.g. pressure ulcers.
Material
Askina® DresSil Active Heel, thanks to its multilayer structure, is designed to offer effective exudate management of chronic wounds:
- Layer 1: Semi-transparent film with 1 cm apart dots for the Active Exudate Monitoring System
- Layer 2: Superabsorbent layer to absorb and lock in exudate
- Layer 3: Exudate distribution layer to facilitate quick exudate movement from the foam to the superabsorbent layer
- Layer 4: Thin foam layer that enables vertical absorption while maintaining a moist environment conducive to wound healing
- Layer 5: Silicone layer to provide secure fixation while conforming to body contours
