B.Braun Askina® Sorb alginate dressing 10x10cm, 3 pcs

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
