Hartmann Sorbalgon Silver Alginate Dressing is made from highly absorbent alginate, a natural seaweed derivative. When the dressing comes into contact with wound exudate, it transforms into a soft, gel-like substance that conforms closely to the wound bed, creating a moist environment that promotes faster healing. This gel formation also makes dressing changes less painful because it reduces disruption to the newly formed tissues. The dressing contains silver, which helps to reduce bacterial load, prevent infection, and support a healthier wound environment. This is especially useful for chronic wounds, ulcers, and other wounds that are susceptible to infection. The dressing is simple to apply and can be used on a number of wound types, including pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and donor sites.
