Biatain Alginate Ag Dressing

Biatain Alginate Ag is a highly absorbent silver dressing designed for use with heavy-exudate partial- to full-thickness wounds, including injuries at risk for infection and in conjunction with a compression bandage. How it Works Biatain Alginate Ag helps heal heavy-exudate wounds through a combination of calcium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and an ionic silver complex. This combination: • Offers a high degree of absorption for wounds sloughing off a significant amount of tissue. • Can be used to fill wound cavities with a high risk of infection. • Can be cut down to any size or depth to fit a wound precisely and conforms to the wound bed by taking on a soft, gel-like consistency. • Offers antimicrobial properties, thanks to a patented, continuous-delivery complex that releases silver ions once exposed to wound exudate. • Can be worn for up to seven days to absorb exudate and control infection. • Provides one-piece removal with a unique design that won’t compromise the dressing’s integrity or cause maceration to the adjacent skin. • Reduces leak risks through an innovative gel formation that holds onto exudate. • Provides a clear hemostatic effect, halting blood flow during minor bleedings.
