KIS Alginate Dressing is a sterile wound dressing which is composed of calcium alginate.
Highly Absorbent
It is capable of absorbing 10-20 times its weight and maintaining a moist wound healing environment.
Mechanism of Action
When applied to a wound there will be an ion-exchange between the calcium in the dressing and sodium from the exudate, forming a soluble calcium/sodium alginate gel. The free calcium ions in the wound will amplify the clotting cascade and can reduce bleeding. The interaction with the wound exudates will create a protective gel that is nonadherent and creates a moist wound healing environment.
Cavity Packing
The flexible and gentle soft fibre rope is ideal for the use of cavity wound packing
