Biatain Soft Alginate Dressing is a high-performance solution for managing highly exudating wounds with efficiency and ease. Crafted from a blend of calcium alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), this dressing is designed to form a cohesive gel when in contact with wound exudate. The resulting gel not only aids in moist wound healing but also ensures the entire dressing can be removed in one piece, reducing discomfort and enhancing patient care.
Features and Benefits
- Superior absorbency allowing it to soak up to 18 times its weight in exudate, which minimizes the risk of maceration and extends the wear time between dressing changes.
- Increased wet integrity and a nylon mesh layer that together provide exceptional strength and ensure one-piece removal for a more comfortable patient experience.
- Quick and vertical absorption of exudates, preventing leakage and reducing the risk of maceration of surrounding healthy skin.
- Soft gel formation within the wound bed, enabling an optimal environment for the healing process.
- Customizable design that can be cut to fit any size, shape, or depth of a wound, ensuring a conforming fit crucial for efficient healing.
