Askina® SilNet

Soft silicone layer for contact with the wound

Askina® SilNet is made of conformable non-woven material coated on both sides with silicone. It is used as a wound contact layer, conforms to the wound surface and adheres securely to the surrounding skin. The wound area is protected from mechanical damage during dressing changes. The use of Askina® SilNet thus minimizes the trauma associated with dressing changes.
