Alginate Dressing

Product performance

These calcium alginate wound dressings are made of alginate fibres. When exudate from a wound encounters the dressing, the sodium alginate present in the fibres absorbs the exudative fluid to form a soft gel. The soft gel is intended to create a moist wound environment at the wound surface to promote wound healing. The gel formed by the dressing does not adhere to the delicate healing tissues in the wound bed.

Instructions for use

Carefully clean the wound and its surrounding area with sterile water or saline solution and dry the surrounding skin gently.

Select the right size of dressing for the wound area. Carefully open the sterile pouch to remove the dressing inside.
A secondary dressing is necessary when using calcium alginates. If needed, cut the tape and dressing using sterile scissors. Dampen dressing with sterile water or saline solution to avoid damaging the surrounding skin, then secure it to the wound area.
