Heel-shaped, non-adhesive foam dressing
Askina® Heel is a heel-shaped, two-layered, non-adherent foam dressing designed to cover the heel and the malleolus. The gentle polyurethane foam can reduce pressure on wounds in this area as well as provide a moist wound environment to promote wound healing.
The waterproof outer layer protects the wound from dirt and bacteria.
The product includes the option to use a foam security strap and two self-adhesive hooks that keep the dressing in place even during movement, avoiding the need to use an additional fixation device.
Askina® Heel is indicated for the management of a wide range of moderately to highly exuding wounds, mainly for exudate absorption at the heel site.
Advantages
- Ready-to-use concept, no fixation device needed
- Innovative anatomical design covering the malleolus
- Pressure-relieving foam
- Good protection against friction and shear stresses
Material
Askina® Heel is composed of two layers:
- Layer 1: Outer polyurethane film
