ASKINA SILNET - 10X18CM

Askina® SilNet is a sterile, water-repellent, thin, porous, low-adherent contact dressing made of a conformable nonwoven material and coated on both sides with a soft silicone layer.

In contact with the wound, Askina® SilNet allows exudate to pass to an absorbent secondary dressing, thus preventing maceration of the perilesional edges. The low adhesion of the soft silicone layer minimizes the risk of trauma during dressing changes.
Askina® SilNet does not absorb wound exudate.

Indications for use.
Askina® SilNet is indicated for the treatment of a wide range of full- or partial-thickness injuries such as second-degree burns, skin grafts, harvest sites, postoperative injuries, fragile skin tears, other types of tears, stage I to IV pressure ulcers, venous, arterial and neuropathic ulcers.
Askina® SilNet is compatible with negative topical pressure therapy and application of topical ointments.
It can be left in situ for up to 14 days.

Do not use Askina® SilNet for ulcers resulting from infections such as tuberculosis, syphilis or deep mycotic infections, and for third-degree burns. Do not use excessive pressure on Askina® SilNet when using it on mesh grafts. Replace after 5 days after fixation of the skin graft.
