Product Overview
Askina® DresSil Border 10 cm × 10 cm is a square-format silicone foam dressing engineered for general wound care across body sites where a self-adherent, low-trauma dressing is required. The four-layer construction integrates a soft silicone wound-contact interface that minimises dressing-related trauma at removal, a polyurethane foam absorbent core, an exudate-distribution layer that supports vertical wicking, and a semi-permeable, waterproof polyurethane backing film consistent with the moist wound healing principles described in EWMA position documents.
The integrated adhesive border eliminates the need for secondary fixation, making the dressing suitable for ambulatory patients, post-surgical wound sites, and home-care use. The waterproof outer layer provides a viral and bacterial barrier against external contamination while permitting moisture vapour transmission, supporting both wound healing physiology and patient hygiene during showering. Sterilised by ethylene oxide and supplied 10 dressings per box.

Clinical Indications
- Management of low to moderately exuding partial- and full-thickness wounds, including post-surgical incisions, skin tears, donor sites, and superficial pressure injuries.
- Pressure injury prevention on bony prominences as part of an evidence-based bundle (NPIAP/EPUAP/PPPIA 2019 International Guideline).
- Diabetic foot ulcers (Wagner grade 1-2) where atraumatic dressing change is required (IWGDF guidance).
- Lower-extremity venous, arterial, and mixed-aetiology ulcers under appropriate compression therapy where indicated.
- Traumatic wounds, abrasions, and lacerations requiring a low-adherent primary dressing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Askina DresSil and DresSil Border?
A: The bordered version (Askina DresSil Border) integrates an adhesive silicone perimeter that secures the dressing without secondary fixation, making it more suitable for ambulatory patients and home use. The non-bordered version is more flexible for cavity packing or use under compression.
Q: Why choose silicone adhesive over acrylic or hydrocolloid adhesives?
A: Soft silicone adhesives apply gentle hold to skin and detach without epidermal stripping, reducing pain at dressing change and the risk of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI), as outlined in the 2013 international consensus on MARSI prevention.
Q: How does the dressing manage exudate?
A: The polyurethane foam core absorbs fluid vertically, while the exudate distribution layer spreads moisture evenly to delay strikethrough. Maximum wear time is determined by saturation level, observed clinically through the dressing.
Q: Can the dressing be cut to size?
A: Manufacturer guidance is to use the full integrated dressing rather than cutting, as cutting compromises the silicone adhesive border and exposes the foam edge. Multiple sizes are available across the DresSil Border range to fit different wound geometries.
Q: Is HSA registration verified for Singapore healthcare facilities?
A: Yes — B|Braun wound care products are imported into Singapore through HSA-licensed distributors and supplied with batch and lot traceability. EMIS+ provides Class IIb medical devices to clinics, hospitals, and home-care patients with documentation suitable for institutional procurement audit.
