ALGISITE M DRESSING WITH CALCIUM ALGINATE 10X10 CM 10 PIECES



ALGISITE M

Calcium Alginate Dressing

Description
ALGISITE M is a sterile calcium alginate dressing consisting of an absorbent pad of 100% non-woven calcium alginate fibres whose structure minimises fibre detachment and increases the cohesive strength of the dressing.
Soft, natural material conforms to the wound bed and promotes a moist wound environment. Minimizes wound and patient trauma upon removal; easy, one-piece removal.
Indicated for partial and full thickness wounds, with moderate to high exudate, even those tending to minor bleeding, such as: pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, oncological lesions, burns. It can be used in combination with compression therapy in leg ulcers, where indicated. It facilitates the control of hemostasis in case of minor bleeding.
The dressing has a high absorption capacity and effectively retains fluids even under compression. The hydrophilic fibers absorb up to 10 times their weight and retain exudate, preventing leaks. It is easy to apply thanks to its softness and high conformability and is easily removed in one piece thanks to its structure designed to reduce the risk of fiber release.
Minimizes wound trauma and removal pain for the patient.
The dressing can be trimmed to conform the dressing to the wound bed.
The product does not contain natural resins and rubbers (latex) which represent a potential allergenic factor.
Does not contain phthalates.

How to use
Please read the instructions for use carefully before use.
The dressing, in contact with the wound:
1. absorbs exudate vertically while controlling horizontal dispersion to prevent maceration of the periwound skin;
2. gels rapidly, forming and maintaining a moist wound environment that promotes healing. In particular, when ALGISITE™ M absorbs wound exudate, the sodium ions in the exudate replace the calcium ions in the alginate, which transforms into a soft gel that conforms to the wound bed.

The average duration of application varies from 1 to 7 days, depending on the condition of the dressing. The frequency of dressing changes depends on the condition and nature of the wound. Generally, in highly exuding or infected wounds, the dressing should be changed daily, decreasing to twice a week as healing progresses.
