Description
-
- Maintains a moist environment
- Fast gelling
- Highly absorbent
- Retains the exudate in a gel
- Excellent wet integrity
- Moderate to heavily exuding wounds; shallow and deep wounds
- Chronic wounds such as venous ulcer, pressure ulcer, arterial ulcer, diabetic ulcer
- Acute wounds such as skin donor sites, abrasions and lacerations, superficial and partial thickness burns
- Easily cut to size customisable application
- Highly flexible fibres conform to every wound base
- Excellent wet integrity easily removed intact
- The exchange of calcium ions within the dressing with sodium ions, which are present in the exudate, transforms the alginate into a moist gel
- Facilitates moist wound healing by maintaining a moist environment
- Has haemostatic properties due to calcium ion release from the alginate dressing in contact with body fluids
- Reduces risk of maceration only one layer of exudate is maintained at the wound surface but excess exudate is absorbed
- Helps to clean the wound bacteria are trapped in the gel formed by the exudate absorbed and are then removed during dressing change
