ASKINA FOAM 10x10cm(10τεμ)

Hydrophilic foam dressing

Askina® Foam consists of small cell structures that absorb fluid while preventing granulation tissue from growing inside. Askina® Foam promotes and maintains a moist wound environment that enhances the natural healing process and retains the absorbed exudate. The range includes various presentations that are used to treat standard as well as difficult-to-dress wounds with fragile periwound area.

A soft hydrophilic polyurethane foam layer which is breathable and has a high fluid handling capacity (199 g / 100 cm2)
A thin, transparent and protective polyurethane film, which is water impermeable and bacteria resistant
