ASKINA FOAM 15 X 20 CM NEW

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
