ASKINA DRESSIL BORDER - 15X20CM

Askina® DresSil Border is a tri-layered selective microadherence dressing made of polyurethane foam that has, on the side in contact with the wound bed, a layer of silicone equipped with numerous holes that promote the passage of exudate. The special structure of the dressing presents a slight convexity on all four sides, allowing its proper adaptation to the conformation of the wound, preventing any curling of the edges. The presence of the adhesive edge in polyurethane film associated with a medical silicone film equipped with a special architecture of holes that guarantees the characteristics of atraumaticity typical of the silicone interface, ensures maximum protection of the perilesional skin and excellent adhesiveness even in parts of the body subjected to stress. The dressing can be easily removed without the release of residue on the wound bed.

Askina® DresSil Border is indicated for the treatment of a wide range of wounds with medium/high exudate, partial or full thickness, such as: pressure ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers of the lower extremities, diabetic foot ulcers, first- and second-degree burns, explantation sites, and skin tears. Its reduced thickness allows its use on injuries in anatomical areas that require high conformability. 1) Lesion contact layer: medical-grade silicone film equipped with a special architecture of holes that allow the passage of exudate to the subsequent polyurethane foam layer.
The structure of the holes is characterized by a matrix that is repeated throughout the extent of the silicone layer and consists of a central hole of 5 mm diameter surrounded by 6 holes of 3 mm diameter.

2) Intermediate layer: hydrophilic absorbent hydrocellular structure consisting of polyurethane foam. It allows high "vertical" absorption of exudate without release under pressure. It also allows
excellent management of the wet environment and eliminates the risks of maceration of the wound edges.

3) Outer layer: polyurethane film impermeable to liquids and bacteria (external agents) and gas permeable. This allows the tissues to breathe, maintaining the right moist environment while allowing liquids to evaporate
in excess.

Method of use:
- Cleanse the wound with a suitable solution (e.g., Prontosan® solution) following normal procedures
- Dry the perilesional skin
- Select a suitable sized dressing to cover the surface of the lesion, making sure there is adequate space between the adhesive edge and the edges of the lesion
- Remove the protective sheet and apply the adhesive (silicone) side to the lesion
- Adhere the dressing to the wound
- During removal, lift one edge of the dressing and remove it slowly
