Askina® Foam by B. Braun is a bistratified, sterile, nonadhesive hydrocellular dressing consisting of highly absorbent polyurethane foam with no adhesive border.

Askina® Foam is a sterile hydrophilic polyurethane foam for wound dressing, consisting of an open-cell, breathable, highly absorbent matrix in direct contact with the wound, and a water- and bacteria-resistant polyurethane outer film. In the presence of exudate, Askina® Foam helps to keep the wound contour hydrated, helping to preserve the natural conditions for healing.

It requires a secondary fixation dressing. It can also be maintained in situ by an elastocompression bandage.

Indications for use.
It is particularly indicated for injuries of vascular origin, with fragile perilesional skin.
Askina® Foam is indicated for the treatment of both superficial and deep lesions with mild to profuse exudate, such as:
- Decubitus ulcers
- Venous and arterial leg ulcers
- Foot ulcers of diabetic origin
- First- and second-degree burns

Askina® Foam can also be used as an adjunct in the prevention of pressure ulcers. - Hydroactive surface area 100 cm2

Askina Heel is a nonadhesive, hydrocellular, conformed heel dressing that is sterile and consists of a high-absorbency polyurethane foam in contact with the wound and an outer layer consisting of a polyurethane film that is vapor permeable and resistant to water and bacteria.

The choice of the elements of the two layers allows for:
- Protection of the lesion from shear forces
- Reduction of pressure exerted from the outside
- Protection of both malleoli
- Optimal exudate management
- Evaporation of excess moisture
- Free gas permeability between the lesion and the external environment
- Impermeability to liquids and bacteria
- Easy removal to check the condition of the lesion

Askina Heel is indicated for the management of moderately to heavily exuding, partial to full-thickness heel lesions such as:
- Stage I to IV pressure ulcers
- Surgical incisions
- Grade I and II burns Bilaminar structure:
1) Layer in contact with the lesion :
Hydrophilic absorbent structure consisting of polyurethane foam . The special microalveolar structure, ensures a high absorption capacity and a high ability to retain exudate even under compression. Absorption of exudate occurs in the vertical direction so that it does not remain on the wound bed. This also reduces, the possible extent of lateral absorption, toward the edges of the lesion, so as to minimize the risk of maceration of the perilesional skin. This avoids, in this way, that the dressing, although having a high absorption capacity, tends to return the absorbed liquid when it is subjected to pressure "sponge effect." Polyurethane foam has a significant thickness that provides high protection of the wound bed. In addition, the special structure of the polyurethane foam layer prevents any proliferation of granulation tissue within it, making removal of the dressing painless and atraumatic and promoting proper healing of the wound bed.

2) Outer layer.
Polyurethane film that is impermeable to liquids and bacteria and gas-permeable. The dressing has a special foam tape that facilitates its placement and keeps it in place. After applying the dressing, the special polyurethane foam tape is positioned by two Velcro supports, adjusting the level of tension. The dressing can be easily removed to check the condition of the wound. In case the use of a secondary dressing is preferred, Askina Heel can be placed without resorting to the use of the fixing tape. The absence of an adhesive border, ensures full respect for the perilesional skin and in particular the malleolar skin. The large contact surface area of the dressing, allows effective protection of both malleoli.

Askina Trachea is a nonadhesive, sterile, conforming hydrocellular dressing for tracheostomies. It consists of a polyurethane foam with high absorption capacity in contact with the lesion and an outer layer consisting of a polyurethane film, which is vapor permeable and resistant to water and bacteria. The special conformation makes it possible to protect the skin from the ression exerted by tracheostomy cannulas.

The choice of the elements of the two layers that make up the dressing makes it possible to:
- Protect the lesion from shear forces
- Reduce the pressure exerted from the outside
- Manage excess exudate
- Maintain the proper moist environment, preventing the skin from macerating under the dressing
- Easy removal/replacement Askina Trachea is conformed for tracheostomies and consists of a bilaminar structure:
1. Layer in contact with the lesion made of hydrophilic absorbent polyurethane foam
2. Outer layer of polyurethane film impermeable to liquids and bacteria and gas permeable

Askina® DresSil is a sterile tristratified dressing with an adhesive layer of silicone in contact with the wound. Devoid of an adhesive border, it combines the absorption capacity of foam, with the adhesive and atraumatic capacity of silicone in contact with the wound. The special structure of the dressing, which has a slight convexity on all four sides, allows its proper adaptation to the conformation of the wound, preventing any curling of the edges. In the presence of exudate, it also helps keep the environment around the wound moist, promoting the natural conditions for spontaneous healing.

Askina® DresSil is indicated for the treatment of a wide range of exuding lesions, of partial or full thickness, such as:
- Pressure ulcers
- Venous and arterial ulcers of the lower extremities
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Grade I and II burns
- Exsanguination sites
- Skin lacerations 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
- Select a dressing of a suitable size to cover the surface of the lesion, making sure that 2 to 3 cm of dressing remains beyond the margins of the lesion
- Remove the protective sheet and apply the adhesive (silicone) side to the wound
- Adhere the dressing to the wound
- If necessary, secure Askina® DresSil with a secondary dressing
- During removal lift one edge of the dressing and remove it slowly
