Askina

Gel
Hydrogel for autolytic debridement
Askina

Gel is a clear, viscous, sterile hydrogel.

Dependant on wound conditions, Askina

Gel
rehydrates dry necrotic tissue, to promote
debridement in dry wounds, or absorbs wound
slough and exudate where a small amount of
exudate is present.
Askina

Gel maintains a moist wound healing

environment conducive to natural healing.

The amputation wound: fibrin and necrotic tissue are present.

Mechanical debridement using scalpel is extremely painful despite the
use of major analgesics.

Askina

Gel is applied in a thick layer, the application is easy and

painless.

The gel is then covered by a transparent polyurethane film, Askina

Derm.

After one week of treatment, including 3 applications of Askina

black necrotic areas could be taken out and the fibrin removed easily.
Granulation tissue starts to appear.

How the hydrogel works?
Hydrogels have a special ability to adapt to their
environment and can either hydrate the wound or absorb
exudate. They facilitate the debridement and removal
of necrotic and fibrinous tissue and other devitalised
material.
Absorbs the
exudates and
fragments of fibrin
