CuraVance Silver Alginate antibacterial calcium alginate dressing is rich in highly absorbent soft gelling mannuronic acid. The non-woven pad format manages exuding wounds, and the rope is appropriate for filling cavities and indurations. CuraVance Silver Alginate immediately forms a soft, hydrophilic gel on contact with wound exudate absorbing excess fluid and exudate-associated inhibitors of wound healing, creating a moist wound healing environment in intimate contact with the wound bed.
Non-woven reinforcing technology enhances wet strength, facilitating atraumatic and complete removal. CuraVance Silver Alginate provides antibacterial protection against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, commonly associated with wound infections.
