Askina® Carbosorb
Charcoal Dressing
Askina® Carbosorb is a conformable, sterile wound dressing with a thick, absorbent layer of non woven viscose-rayon, and an activated charcoal cloth layer for bacteria and malodor absorption.
Askina® Carbosorb has limited absorption capacity: it can be used alone on low exuding malodorous wound, or in combination with other absorbing dressings for moderately to heavily exuding malodorous wounds.
Advantages
- High exudate control: Moderate to heavy exudate is absorbed.
- Odor control: Activated charcoal adsorbs wound malodor.
- High level of retention: the risk of maceration can be reduced.
Indication
Askina® Carbosorb may be used for the management of low to heavily exuding, partial to full thickness chronic wounds, in particular when infection and/or offensive odour is present: venous leg ulcers, arterial leg ulcers, pressure injuries, fungating wounds, infected and/or malodorous surgical or traumatological wounds.
Material
Askina® Carbosorb is made of six layers:
1. Hydrophilic wound contact layer
2+3: Two dispersion layers
4. Superabsorbent pad layer
5. Activated charcoal layer
6. Blue liquid-repellent backing layer
