Biatain Alginate Ag Dressing

Wound CareBiatain® Alginate Ag is a highly absorbent silver alginate dressing for moderately to heavily exuding infected wounds of many sizes, shapes and depths. Recommended for cavity filling for infected wounds The design and structural integrity of the dressing allow you to cut the dressing to fit wounds of many sizes, shapes and depths. Patented wound dressing containing a silver complex with broad antimicrobial profile Biatain® Alginate Ag provides continuous antibacterial effect during the entire wear time (up to 7 days) (2). High dressing integrity The high dressing integrity allows for one-piece removal with minimal pain and trauma (1). Minimized risk of leakage and maceration The absorption of Biatain® Alginate Ag (1) and the gel formation which locks exudate inside the gel prevent leakage that can cause maceration of the periwound skin. Documented hemostatic effect Contrary to hydrofibre dressings, Biatain® Alginate Ag has documented hemostatic effect, i.e. the ability to arrest blood flow in minor bleedings (4,5). Mode of action On contact with wound exudate, Biatain® Alginate Ag converts to a soft, cohesive gel that conforms closely to the wound bed for optimal infection control. The silver complex releases ions in the presence of wound exudate. Product composition Biatain® Alginate Ag is an alginate dressing consisting of alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and an ionic silver complex. Usage Biatain® Alginate Ag can be used on all moderate to heavily exuding partial to full thickness wounds. Biatain® Alginate Ag may be used on infected wounds or wounds at risk of infection. Biatain® Alginate Ag can be used under compression bandages. Biatain® Alginate Ag should not be used on dry or lightly exuding wounds or to control heavy bleeding. Biatain® Alginate Ag is indicated for leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, traumatic wounds, and second degree burns. Biatain® Alginate Ag 3765 15x15 cm 10 per package
