Askina® Hydro
Hydrocolloid dressing
Askina® Hydro is a new generation hydrocolloid dressing, with a particularly strong, long term absorption capacity and outstanding cohesive strength, with less risk of leaving residues in the wound bed. It contains Psyllium Husk particules which reinforce the absorption capacity, bind wound bacteria and reduces malodour.
Advantages
- High cohesive strength of the gel
- No dressing residue in the wound bed
- Extremely low risk of "melt down" and leakage
- Longer wear time
Contraindication
Askina® Hydro should not be used on:
- Ulcers caused by chronic infections (tuberculosis, deep mycotic infections, syphilis)
- Arteriopathy stage IV
- Bites and 3rd degree burns
Wounds showing clinical signs of infection (temperature, pus, inflammatory signs) should be treated under medical control before use of Askina® Hydro can be resumed.
Indication
Pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial leg ulcers, donor sites, abrasions, 1st and 2nd degree burns
