Composition of the Askina Dressil 15x15cm Dressing

The Askina Dressil dressing consists of an absorbent polyurethane foam covered by a perforated silicone layer. This structure promotes a moist environment ideal for wound healing, minimizing trauma with each dressing change. Its sterile design ensures safety in veterinary clinical applications.

Indications for use in veterinary medicine

This dressing is indicated for the treatment of wounds with light to moderate exudate in animals. It is especially useful for surgical wounds, lacerations, pressure ulcers, and burns. Its 15 x 15 cm size makes it suitable for medium to large pets, such as large breed dogs and cats.

Advantages of the Askina Dressil dressing

• Soft adhesion thanks to the silicone, which allows for painless repositioning.
• High absorption capacity that reduces the risk of maceration.
• Partial transparency that facilitates visual control of the exudate.
• Anatomical adaptability, even in hard-to-reach areas.

Mode of application

Clean the affected area with sterile solution. Gently dry the surrounding skin and apply the dressing with the silicone side down over the wound. Secure with a secondary dressing if necessary. Change every 2 to 4 days, depending on the level of exudate and the healing of the wound.

Compatibility with veterinary treatments

The Askina Dressil dressing can be used in combination with topical therapies, provided they do not interfere with the integrity of the silicone. Its use with oily solutions or thick creams that may clog the pores of the contact layer is not recommended.

Presentation of the product
