ASKINA SORB 10X10 CM

Askina® Sorb by B. Braun is a primary sterile conformable dressing based on calcium alginate and hydrocolloids (Carboxymethylcellulose - CMC), indicated for the treatment of moderately to profusely exuding wounds.

Askina® Sorb absorbs exudate vertically over the entire surface of the dressing. The alginate and hydrocolloid fibers react on contact with the exudate to form a soft, firm gel. This gel, in addition to absorbing the exudate, allows the maintenance of ideal moisture conditions that promote the healing process. The gel also allows gaseous exchange with the wound surface, protecting the bottom of the wound from the rubbing of a secondary covering dressing.

Indications for use.
Askina® Sorb is a highly absorbent dressing indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely exuding, partial- or full-thickness wounds, infection and/or bleeding, in the presence of fibrin or necrosis It should not be used with surgical implants or third-degree burns.
