Askina® DresSil is a self adherent foam dressing with soft silicone adhesive on one side and a vapour permeable waterproof film on the other. It combines the absorption capacity of the foam with the soft adhesion of the silicone contact layer:

• Protective polyurethane film: highly breathable – waterproof – bacteria barrier
• Hydrophilic foam layer: regulates moisture – soft and comformable – excellent absorption capacity
• Silicone adhesive layer: atraumatic – open structure to let exudates pass into the absorbent foam

Advantages

Atraumatic removal:

• Painless dressing changes
• No stripping of epidermal cells during dressing changes
• Reduces patient anxiety
• Soft adhesion to the surrounding skin
• Secure adhesion

Controlled absorption:

• Exudate passes through silicone adhesive quickly into the foam, due to excellent wicking properties
• Significant absorption capacity
• Vertical strike through
• Reduced risk of maceration at the wound edges
