Askina® DresSil Heel

Adhesive silicone foam dressing with border for the heel

Askina^® DresSil Heel is a multilayer self-adherent soft silicone wound dressing with border for the heel. The heel dressing provides a significant absorption capacity due to its excellent wicking properties and helps to maintain a moist wound environment conducive to natural healing. It has been specially designed for wounds occurring in the heel, covering the areas most prone to the development of pressure ulcers. 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 heel making it comfortable to wear, while the waterproof outer layer protects the wound from dirt and bacteria.

Askina^® DresSil Heel is indicated for the management of low to moderately exuding wounds s partial to full thickness wounds for the following wounds:

• Pressure ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• First and second-degree burns

Askina^® DresSil Heel may also be used as an aid for the prevention of skin breakdown.
