The AsGuard Silicone Border is an all-in-one 5-layer wound dressing engineered to deliver superior absorption, comfort, and protection across a broad range of wound types. Its soft silicone adhesive layer gently adheres to the surrounding skin without bonding to the wound bed, significantly minimising pain and trauma during dressing changes — making it an ideal choice for patients with sensitive or fragile skin.
Available in multiple sizes to suit diverse clinical needs — including square, sacral, and heel configurations — the AsGuard Silicone Border features a highly absorbent foam pad for effective exudate management and a breathable backing film that maintains an optimal moist wound environment. Each dressing is supplied sterile and is designed with an extra wide border for greater fixation and secure wear.
5-Layer All-in-One Construction — The dressing integrates five functional layers into a single product, combining a soft silicone contact layer, absorbent foam pad, and breathable backing film to provide comprehensive wound management without the need for secondary dressings.
Soft Silicone Adhesive Layer — The gentle silicone adhesive adheres securely to the periwound skin while avoiding adherence to the wound bed, reducing pain and minimising tissue trauma at every dressing change.
Highly Absorbent Foam Pad — The integrated foam pad effectively manages wound exudate, helping to keep the wound surface clean and reducing the risk of maceration to surrounding tissue.
Breathable Backing Film — A moisture-vapour-permeable backing film promotes a moist wound healing environment while allowing the skin to breathe, supporting optimal healing conditions.
Extra Wide Silicone Border — Each dressing is designed with an extra wide border to provide greater fixation and secure adhesion, reducing the risk of the dressing lifting or rolling during wear.
Multiple Configurations & Sizes — The range is available in multiple sizes and shapes — including standard square, sacral-specific, and heel-specific formats — to accommodate wound sites across different anatomical locations and wound sizes.
Sterile Supply — Every AsGuard Silicone Border dressing is individually supplied sterile, supporting infection control compliance and meeting the standards required for use in clinical and healthcare settings.
