It manages low to moderately exuding partial- and full-thickness wounds and offwloads pressure to support prevention of heel pressure injuries. Each box contains 5 sterile dressings sized 22 cm × 21.6 cm, indicated for use up to 7 days under clinical supervision.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Askina® DresSil Heel from B|Braun is an anatomically contoured silicone foam dressing engineered for the unique geometry of the heel and Achilles region. The five-layer construction combines a soft silicone wound contact interface, a thin foam layer that supports vertical fluid wicking, an exudate-distribution layer, a superabsorbent polymer layer that locks fluid away from the wound bed, and a semi-permeable, waterproof polyurethane backing film. This design maintains a moist wound environment consistent with the principles of moist wound healing described in the European Wound Management Association (EWMA) and Wounds International consensus documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silicone adhesive provides atraumatic, repositionable fixation that minimises peri-wound skin stripping at dressing change — an important consideration for fragile or aged skin. The contoured heel-cup shape conforms to the malleoli and posterior calcaneus to deliver pressure redistribution and reduced shear, supporting NPIAP\/EPUAP\/PPPIA prophylactic dressing recommendations for category I-II heel pressure injuries. Each unit is sterilised by ethylene oxide and supplied in a box of 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB|Braun Medical (Askina® brand, Melsungen, Germany)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Family\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAskina® DresSil — Silicone Foam Wound Dressings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnatomically shaped heel dressing with adhesive silicone border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 cm × 21.6 cm (heel-cup geometry)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBox of 5 sterile dressings, individually pouched\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLayer Construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-layer: soft silicone contact, thin foam, exudate distribution layer, superabsorbent layer, breathable waterproof PU film\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAbsorbency Profile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndicated for low to moderate exudate; vertical fluid wicking minimises lateral spread and maceration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWear Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 7 days for low-exudate wounds; assess every 1-3 days for moderate exudate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSterility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilised — single use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot made with natural rubber latex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE-marked under EU MDR 2017\/745, Class IIb wound dressing; manufactured under ISO 13485 quality management; Singapore HSA-listed medical device via licensed importer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStore dry, below 25°C, away from direct sunlight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Indications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManagement of low to moderately exuding partial- and full-thickness heel wounds, including pressure ulcers categories I-IV (NPIAP\/EPUAP staging) once cavity packing has been addressed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProphylactic dressing for at-risk heels in immobilised or critical-care patients, in line with the 2019 NPIAP\/EPUAP\/PPPIA International Pressure Ulcer Prevention Guideline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiabetic foot ulcers (Wagner grade 1-2) of the heel and posterior calcaneus, used in conjunction with offloading and the IWGDF guidelines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin tears, donor sites, and post-surgical incisions affecting the heel or Achilles region.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower-limb venous and arterial ulcers presenting at the heel as part of a TIME-based wound care protocol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why use a silicone-adhesive dressing instead of a hydrocolloid for heel wounds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Silicone adhesives reduce trauma at dressing removal and are recommended for fragile or peri-wound compromised skin (Wounds International 2019 consensus). The DresSil Heel additionally provides cushioning over the bony prominence of the calcaneus, which hydrocolloids do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does the Active Exudate Monitoring System work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The PU backing film carries 1 cm-spaced indicator dots that allow visual estimation of saturation through the dressing without needing to lift the silicone border, helping clinicians decide on dressing change timing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How often should the dressing be changed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Wear time depends on exudate level and clinical condition. For low exudate the dressing may stay in place up to 7 days; for moderate exudate plan changes every 1-3 days, or earlier if strikethrough is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this product registered in Singapore?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — B|Braun wound care products are imported into Singapore by HSA-licensed distributors and are CE-marked under EU MDR 2017\/745.
