Silicone Dressings
 

Description

AskinaDresSil Sacrum is a self adherent foam dressing with a 1,5 cm border for simple use and more security. Its triangular shape suits well to sacral area.

With its soft silicone adhesive on one side and a vapor permeable waterproof film on the other, Askina DresSil Sacrum 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 conformable - excellent absorption capacity
• Silicone adhesive layer: atraumatic - open structure to let exudates pass into the absorbent foam
   

Advantages

• Painless dressing changes
• No stripping of epidermal cells during dressing changes
• Soft adhesion to the surrounding skin
• Secure adhesion
• Allows to take a shower

Controlled absorption:

• Flower pattern for quick and efficient absorption
• Exudate passes through silicone adhesive quickly into the foam, due to excellent wicking properties
• Vertical absorption
• Reduced risk of maceration at the wound edges in case ofincontinence

Can be used as a prevention against pressure ulcers on the sacral area.
