Spirit Alginate
Spirit Healthcare
Description
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.
Indications
Moderate to heavily exuding wounds, including cavity wounds, lacerations, abrasions, graft wounds and donor sites, pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-operative surgical wounds, superficial and partial thickness burns
