Prevenzione delle ulcere da pressione

Concentriamoci sulla prevenzione delle ulcere da pressione

Questa è la storia di Miguel Jopia Cuevas, un padre di famiglia di 60 anni del Cile, che aveva contratto il COVID-19. Dopo aver trascorso 39 giorni in ospedale, è stato dimesso con una grave ulcera da decubito lombosacrale.

Nel seguente video, Miguel rivela l'enorme impatto che l'ulcera da pressione ha avuto su tutti gli aspetti della sua vita: familiari, professionali e psicologici. Inoltre, racconta le sue sofferenze e gli elevati costi che deve sostenere per il trattamento dell'ulcera da pressione di terzo stadio da parte di un infermiere domiciliare.

Askina® Trachea

Askina® Trachea is a polyurethane foam dressing with a circular aperture especially designed to fit neatly around a tracheostomy tube or other drain. The dressing absorbs wound exudate through the polyurethane foam and provides a moist wound environment that promotes wound healing. The outer vapor-permeable polyurethane film layer protects the wound from dirt and bacteria.Askina® Trachea is designed for a wide range of moderately to highly exuding wounds, mainly for exudate absorption at the tracheostomy site.

Askina® DresSil Active Heel

Askina® DresSil Active Heel is a heel multilayer silicone dressing with border designed to provide active exudate management. Its multilayer structure improves exudate retention and absorption while maintaining the adequate moisture level in the wound1. This may reduce the frequency of dressing changes, thereby saving nursing time and allowing more time to be dedicated to patients and their care2. Askina® DresSil Active Heel is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as:Pressure ulcersLeg and foot ulcersTraumatic wounds (e.g. skin tears)Surgical wounds It can also be used on dry/necrotic wounds in combination with gels. The dressing may also be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to help prevent skin damage, e.g. pressure ulcers. Material Askina® DresSil Active Heel, thanks to its multilayer structure, is designed to offer effective exudate management of chronic wounds: Layer 1: Semi-transparent film with 1 cm apart dots for the Active Exudate Monitoring SystemLayer 2: Superabsorbent layer to absorb and lock in exudateLayer 3: Exudate distribution layer to facilitate quick exudate movement from the foam to the superabsorbent layerLayer 4: Thin foam layer that enables vertical absorption while maintaining a moist environment conducive to wound healingLayer 5: Silicone layer to provide secure fixation while conforming to body contours

Askina® DresSil Active Sacrum

Askina® DresSil Active Sacrum is a sacrum multilayer silicone dressing with border designed to provide active exudate management. Its multilayer structure improves exudate retention and absorption while maintaining the adequate moisture level in the wound1. This may reduce the frequency of dressing changes, thereby saving nursing time and allowing more time to be dedicated to patients and their care2. Askina® DresSil Active Sacrum is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as:Pressure ulcersLeg and foot ulcersTraumatic wounds (e.g. skin tears)Surgical woundsIt can also be used on dry/necrotic wounds in combination with gels. The dressing may also be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to help prevent skin damage, e.g. pressure ulcers. MaterialAskina® DresSil Active Sacrum, thanks to its multilayer structure, is designed to offer effective exudate management of chronic wounds:Layer 1: Semi-transparent film with 1 cm apart dots for the Active Exudate Monitoring SystemLayer 2: Superabsorbent layer to absorb and lock in exudateLayer 3: Exudate distribution layer to facilitate quick exudate movement from the foam to the superabsorbent layerLayer 4: Thin foam layer that enables vertical absorption while maintaining a moist environment conducive to wound healingLayer 5: Silicone layer to provide secure fixation while conforming to body contours

Askina® DresSil

Askina® DresSil is a non-bordered, self-adherent soft silicone wound dressing. It absorbs exudate from the wound through silicone perforations and provides a moist wound healing environment to promote wound healing.  The wound contact layer made of silicone reduces pain and trauma during dressing changes, enhancing patient comfort. The waterproof outer layer protects the wound from dirt and bacteria. The soft polyurethane foam conforms to the natural contours of the body making the dressing comfortable to wear, while the waterproof outer layer protects the wound from dirt and bacteria. Askina® DresSil is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds, such as:  Leg and foot ulcersPressure ulcers  Traumatic wounds, e.g. skin tears  Secondary healing woundsMaterial  Askina® DresSil is composed of three layers:  Layer 1: Outer polyurethane filmLayer 2: Absorbent polyurethane foamLayer 3: Silicone adhesive 

Ally® Barrier Film Spray

Ally® Barrier Film Spray is intended to prevent skin breakdown caused by moisture/stoma effluents, to protect peristomal skin at risk from maceration and excoriation and to maintain the integrity of newly healed skin to stop secondary skin breakdown. Ally® Barrier Film Spray is especially recommended for people with irritated or sensitive peristomal skin.
