Braun Askina DresSil 20x20cm is a CE-marked Class IIb multilayer soft silicone foam wound dressing designed for the management of moderate to highly exuding wounds. The non-bordered construction features a five-layer architecture with superabsorbent core for superior fluid handling capacity and a soft silicone wound contact layer that minimises pain and trauma during dressing changes. Indicated for partial to full thickness wounds including pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAskina DresSil is a self-adherent soft silicone foam dressing manufactured by B. Braun Melsungen AG, designed to provide optimal exudate management in moderate to highly exuding wounds. The 20x20cm format is the largest size variant in the Askina DresSil range, intended for extensive wound beds on the trunk, thigh, or other large body surface areas where a generous dressing pad is required to maintain adequate coverage and absorption capacity between dressing changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dressing employs a multilayer construction that combines vertical absorption through a thin polyurethane foam layer with lateral wicking via an exudate distribution layer, directing wound fluid into a superabsorbent core that locks in exudate to prevent maceration of periwound skin. The soft silicone adhesive wound contact layer conforms to irregular wound bed topography, maintaining secure fixation without adhering to the wound surface itself — enabling atraumatic removal that preserves newly formed granulation tissue and reduces patient pain during dressing changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB.

The silicone contact layer maintains a moist wound interface without maceration by allowing excess exudate to pass vertically into the foam layer. The distribution layer then wicks fluid laterally to maximise the absorptive capacity of the superabsorbent core, which locks in exudate and prevents strike-through. The waterproof outer film provides a bacterial barrier while maintaining moisture vapour transmission. This design aligns with the TIMERS framework for advanced wound management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Askina DresSil be used under compression therapy for venous leg ulcers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the non-bordered design of Askina DresSil makes it suitable for use as a primary wound contact dressing under compression bandaging systems. The soft silicone adhesive maintains dressing position without the bulk of bordered dressings, and the conformable foam adapts to limb contours under compression. Clinicians should follow the EWMA position document recommendations for dressing selection under compression therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the maximum wear time for Askina DresSil 20x20cm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wounds with low exudate output, Askina DresSil can remain in place for up to 7 days, reducing dressing change frequency and associated disruption to wound healing. For moderate to high exudate wounds, dressing changes may be required every 2-3 days based on clinical assessment of dressing saturation. The semi-transparent outer film enables visual monitoring of exudate levels without removing the dressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can healthcare facilities in Singapore purchase Askina DresSil dressings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAskina DresSil dressings are available in Singapore through EMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies Pte Ltd) as an authorised B. Braun distributor. EMIS supplies directly to hospitals, wound care clinics, community nursing services, and home care agencies. All products are HSA-registered medical devices. Orders can be placed through emis.asia with islandwide delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Askina DresSil appropriate for use in paediatric wound care?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAskina DresSil is suitable for paediatric patients when clinically indicated. The soft silicone adhesive is particularly beneficial in paediatric wound care as it minimises pain and distress during dressing changes — a key consideration endorsed by the International Wound Infection Institute (IWII). The 20x20cm size may be trimmed to fit smaller wound areas in paediatric patients as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is Bbraun Askina DresSil 20x20cm – Soft Silicone Foam Dressing for Moderate to High Exuding Wounds (Box used for?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Bbraun Askina DresSil 20x20cm – Soft Silicone Foam Dressing for Moderate to High Exuding Wounds (Box by Bbraun is a foam dressing used for wound management.
