ASKINA DRESSIL SACRUM - 16X17.5CM

Askina® DresSil Sacrum is a selective microadherent, tristratified, polyurethane foam dressing that has, on the side in contact with the wound bed, a layer of silicone fitted with numerous
holes that promote the passage of exudate. The special structure of the dressing allows the correct adaptation of the dressing at the level of the sacral area, preventing the possible curling of the edges and the infiltration of any effluent. The presence of the polyurethane film edge associated with a medical silicone film equipped with a special architecture of holes that guarantees the atraumatic characteristics typical of the silicone interface, ensures maximum protection of the perilesional skin and excellent adhesiveness even in parts of the body subjected to stress.

Intended use:
Askina® DresSil Sacrum is indicated for the treatment of exudating lesions of partial or full thickness, such as: pressure ulcers. 1) Lesion-contact layer: medical 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 with a diameter of 5 mm surrounded by 6 holes with a diameter of 3 mm.

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 and gas permeable. This allows the tissues to breathe, maintaining the proper moist environment while allowing excess fluids to evaporate.

Method of use:
- Cleanse the wound with a suitable solution (e.g., Prontosan® solution) following normal procedures
- Dry the perilesional skin
- Remove the protective sheetp and apply the adhesive (silicone) side to the wound
- Adhere the dressing to the wound
- During removal, lift one edge of the dressing and remove it slowly
