Algisite M

Calcium Alginate Based Dressing

Highly absorbent. Create a moist environment on the wound. Easy to remove. Reduced fiber release. It conforms to the contours of the wound

Algisite M is the only calcium alginate-based dressing that gels quickly, has a high fiber content of mannuronic acid, obtained with an industrial process that produces a soft and conformable dressing with reduced fiber release and high integrity when wet. Algisite M forms a soft gel when in contact with wound exudate. Excess exudate is absorbed in this process. Algisite Mutilizes the well-known benefits of moist healing, accelerating healing of difficult wounds.

Benefits

Highly absorbent
In vitro studies have shown that Algisite M can absorb exudate up to 10 times its weight. This allows the dressing to remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the nature of the wound.

Easy to remove
When used on moderately to highly exuding wounds, the dressing forms a soft gel that does not adhere to the delicate wound granulation tissue. The dressing can be easily removed in one piece, or washed off with saline.

Moist environment on the wound
The formation of the gel as a consequence of the action of the exudate with the alginate fibers creates a moist environment on the surface.
This prevents eschar formation and promotes rapid healing. The dressing allows the wound to contract and also allows the gas exchanges necessary for healing.

It conforms to the contours of the wound
Algisite M is very soft and conformable and allows it to be adapted, folded or cut according to the size and shape of the wound. Thanks to the formation of the gel, intimate contact with the wound is maintained.

Reduced fiber release.
All alginate-based dressings when handled release fibers, thanks to the particular production process this risk is enormously reduced.

Indications

Partial or full thickness, moderately to highly exuding wounds (e.g. pressure sores, leg ulcers, diabetic and ischemic ulcers, postoperative wounds and fungiform carcinomas) .Algisitis M can be used on clinically infected wounds under medical supervision and treated with appropriate therapy.

Contraindications / Precautions for use

Make sure that the Algisite M swab is inserted into the cavity, sinus etc. be removed. Do not use on patients with known allergy to alginates.

Format
