Highly absorbent alginate dressing for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate

Description

Alginate dressing with silver, highly absorbent, for wounds with moderate or abundant exudate, of various sizes, shapes and depths. Recommended for the filling of infected wound cavities. The design and structural integrity of the dressing allows it to be cut to fit wounds of various sizes, shapes and depths.

Provides continuous antibacterial effect for the entire duration of use (up to 7 days). The unique integrity of the dressing allows it to be removed in one piece with minimal pain and trauma. Absorption and gel formation, which retains exudate within the dressing, prevents leakage that can lead to maceration of the perilesional skin. It has a documented hemostatic effect, i.e. the ability to stop blood flow in minor bleeding.

On contact with wound exudate, it becomes a soft, cohesive gel that conforms perfectly to the wound bed to control infection. The silver complex releases ions in the presence of wound exudate.

Instructions for use

It can be used in all wounds with moderate or abundant exudate and partial or complete depth. Can be used on infected wounds or wounds at risk of infection. Can be used under compression bandages. It should not be used on dry or lightly exuding wounds or to control heavy bleeding. It is indicated for leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, traumatic wounds and second degree burns.

Composition

Alginate dressing made with alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and a silver ionic complex.

Pharmaceutical Advice

Burns are damage and destruction to the integrity of the skin caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sun exposure or other radiation energy. At the domestic level, the most common burns are caused by liquids, hot steam or contact with a surface at a high temperature. These burns can reach more or less deep layers and affect adjacent structures (hair follicles, sweat glands). Their extent can be variable. They are classified into different degrees depending on these factors (degree 1 being the most superficial and least serious).

In cases of mild, superficial and not very extensive, slightly red burns (for example, after exposure to the sun), intensely moisturise the skin with soothing and moisturising emulsions. Sunscreen will also be necessary to protect the area with a high SPF and appropriate clothing and accessories. Remember that sunburns are indicative of deep damage to the skin, with alterations to cellular DNA, so it is always best to avoid them by using sunscreen and being responsible with sun exposure.

Other types of minor burns can be relieved immediately by placing the area under cold water for a few minutes. Then, when the skin is dry, apply a soothing, antiseptic and regenerating ointment. The damaged area should be covered with sterile bandages or dressings with silver particles (with an antibacterial effect). It should also be protected from the sun to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. If any more serious signs appear, such as malaise, fever, discharge from the affected area, blisters, pain or other signs of infection, consult a healthcare professional.
