Alginates

ActivHeal Alginate

ActivHeal Alginate

Soft, conformable, highly a bsorbent calcium sodium alginate dressing. Available in a felt or a rope.

Algisite Ag

A calcium alginate impregnated with silver that encourages moist wound healing and providines an antimicrobial barrier. It can be used to absorb excess exudate from infected or at-risk wounds.

Algisite M

Calcium alginate dressing consisting of a thick highly absorbent pad of non-woven alginate fibres

Algisite M (1)

Calcium alginate dressing consisting of a thick highly absorbent pad of non-woven alginate fibres

Algivon

Algivon

Alginate dressing impregnated with 100% manuka honey

Algivon Plus

Algivon Plus

Reinforced alginate dressing impregnated with 100% manuka honey

Algivon Plus Ribbon

Algivon Plus Ribbon

Reinforced alginate ribbon impregnated with 100% manuka honey. Comes with probe.

Askina Calgitrol Thin

Consists of a thin layer of silver alginate matrix. This forms a soft gel when in contact with exudate, allowing the immediate controlled and sustained release of silver ions into the wound.

Biatain Alginate Ag

Silver alginate dressing. A highly-absorbent, sterile, non-woven, antimicrobial pad composed of calcium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and an ionic silver complex which releases silver ions in the presence of wound exudate.

Biatain Alginate dressing

Alginate dressing. An absorbent, sterile, non-woven, pad consisting of calcium alginate, and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fibre.

CovaWound Alginate

A primary wound dressing made from the calcium salt of alginic acid, which is rich in mannuronic acid

Cutimed Alginate

Sterile, non-medicated, alginate dressing, consisting of calcium and sodium alginate. Semipermeable, non-woven fabric coated on both sides with natural fibres derived from seaweed.

Flaminal Forte

Enzyme Alginogel containing two antimicrobial enzymes, glucose oxidase and lactoperoxidase, which provide antimicrobial protection without damaging healthy skin cells and reduce bacteria released from a biofilm. Debrides the wound and manages moisture balance. Can be used on a wide range of wound types and at every stage of healing.

Flaminal Hydro

Enzyme Alginogel containing two antimicrobial enzymes, glucose oxidase and lactoperoxidase, which provide antimicrobial protection without damaging healthy skin cells and reduce bacteria released from a biofilm. Debrides the wound and manages moisture balance. Can be used on a wide range of wound types and at every stage of healing.

Kaltostat

Sterile non-woven calcium-sodium alginate fibre dressing. On contact with a bleeding wound, promotes haemostasis.

Kendall Calcium Alginate

Calcium alginate dressing pad that absorbs exudate and provides a moist wound healing environment

Kliniderm Alginate

A sterile, non-woven calcium/sodium alginate dressing consisting of a high G (guluronic acid) that absorbs exudate and provides a moist healing environment. Cavity variant available for deep wounds.

Silvercel

Silvercel

Silver alginate dressing containing a non-adherent layer that releases silver ions into wound fluid while also protecting the wound bed

Silvercel Non-Adherent

Silvercel Non-Adherent

Silver alginate dressing with unique non-adherent layer that allows release of silver ions into the wound fluid while also protecting the wound bed

Sorbsan Silver Flat

A sterile, non-woven, calcium alginate dressing with silver. High in mannuronic acid and low in guluronic acid. The fibres swell and form a gel on contact with wound exudate, releasing ionic silver particles to reduce bioburden. Will promote haemostasis in bleeding wounds.

Sorbsan Flat

A sterile, non-woven, calcium alginate wound dressing. High in mannuronic acid and low in guluronic acid. The fibres swell and form a sodium-calcium alginate gel on contact with wound exudate. Will promote haemostasis in bleeding wounds.

Spirit Alginate

Dressings to control minor bleeding, derived from the calcium salts of seaweed. The alginate fibres form a hydrophilic gel on contact with wound fluid to allow maximum contact with the wound bed. Alginates absorb exudate away from the wound while providing a moist wound environment conducive to healing. The range offers an alginate ribbon for narrow wounds or sinuses, alginate packing in the form a ‘rope’ for cavities and an alginate flat sheet for application to shallow wounds.

Suprasorb A

Highly absorbent, calcium alginate dressing. Conforms to any wound bed. Rapidly forms a soft and gentle gel which binds the exudate and traps bacteria

Suprasorb A+Ag

Highly absorbent, calcium alginate dressing with silver. The silver ions are released on contact with wound exudate. Conforms to any wound bed.

UrgoSorb

A highly absorbent sterile dressing composed of ‘G- type’ calcium alginate fibres and hydrocolloid particles

UrgoSorb Silver

A highly absorbent antibacterial sterile silver dressing, that is also composed of ‘G- type’ calcium alginate fibres and hydrocolloid particles
