ASSIST Absorbent is a sterile, single use multi-layer low-adherent absorbent wound dressing. ASSIST Absorbent is indicated for management of acute and chronic wounds: partial thickness burns, incisions, skin grafts, donor sites, lacerations, abrasions, lymphedema, dermatological wounds, and stage I-IV vascular ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, and diabetic ulcers. The dressing has a low-adherent veil wound contact layer, a polyester/ nylon wound contact layer, two layers of absorptive non-woven, and a white occlusive outer layer.
A wound covering typically in the form of a multi-layered pad having a material or substance on its skin-contact surface (e.g., silicone gel), or designed to be soaked in saline prior to application, to prevent adherence to the wound bed thereby decreasing wound trauma potential; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. It is typically used to absorb wound blood/exudates while protecting the wound from external contamination and maintaining a moist internal environment. It may be used as a primary or secondary dressing to treat chronic and postoperative wounds, burns, ulcers, abrasions, cuts, or puncture sites; it is not a dedicated burn dressing. This is a single-use device.
