Discover Cutimed Alginate wound dressing 10 x 10 cm 10 pieces
Cutimed Alginate wound dressing offers an advanced solution for the care of moderate to heavily exuding wounds. This calcium-sodium alginate is made from natural seaweed and can absorb up to 20 times its own weight in wound fluid. On contact with exudate, Cutimed Alginate quickly transforms from a dry dressing to a soft, moist gel that promotes the healing process.
Thanks to the non-woven intermediate layer, the dressing remains stable and prevents the gel from disintegrating, which makes changing dressings less painful. Cutimed Alginate helps trap bacteria and dirt in the gel, making them easy to remove during dressing changes. This reduces the risk of infections and leakage, and prevents softening of the wound edges.
This wound dressing has a haemostatic effect and is easy to cut to size. The flexible fibers adapt to the wound bed, ensuring good contact with the wound. Cutimed Alginate remains intact while absorbing exudate and can remain in the wound for up to seven days, depending on the amount of wound fluid. Ideal for various wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, burns and donor sites. Trust Cutimed Alginate for effective wound care.
