B.Braun Askina® Sorb alginate dressing 10x10cm, 3 pcs
Product details for B.Braun Askina® Sorb alginate dressing 6x6cm, 3 pcs
Askina® Sorb by B.Braun is a highly absorbent alginate dressing made of fibers containing 85% calcium alginate and 15% carboxymethylcellulose.
Askina® Sorb is a sterile primary wound dressing made of fibers
containing 85% of calcium alginate and 15% of carboxymethylcellulose
(CMC).
When in contact with wound exudate, the alginate-CMC
fibers are fast gelling, resulting from an ionic exchange between
calcium ions from the dressing and sodium ions from the
exudate, so as to form a soft moist gel conducive to natural
healing.
Advantages
- Conformable and easy to apply
- High absorption capacity
- Forms soft gel which can be removed in one piece,
without residue - Vertical absorption process: no lateral strike through, designed for avoiding wound edge maceration
- Atraumatic dressing removal
Contraindication
Askina® Sorb should not be used for surgical implantations or for treating third degree burns. The simultaneous use of topical agents, such as antiseptics and antibiotics with Askina® Sorb is not indicated. This is because some of these agents used alone may induce reactions. Therefore, their use with Askina® Sorb may reduce or negate its beneficial effect. Askina® Sorb will have little benefit if applied to very dry or necrotic wounds. Do not use if pack is damaged or opened.
Indication
Askina® Sorb is indicated for the management of moderately to heavily exuding wounds such as:
- Pressure ulcers
- Venous and arterial leg ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Donor sites
- Trauma wound
- Dermal lesions
