Order Cutimed Alginate wound dressing 5 x 5 cm 10 pieces
Cutimed Alginate wound dressing is your solution for the treatment of moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Made from natural seaweed, this calcium-sodium alginate consists of flexible fibers that can absorb up to 20 times their own weight in exudate. When it comes into contact with wound fluid, Cutimed Alginate turns into a soft, moist gel that creates an ideal wound environment and supports healing.
The unique non-woven intermediate layer gives the bandage extra stability and prevents the gel from falling apart. This makes changing the bandage less painful and minimizes discomfort. Bacteria and debris are trapped in the gel and effectively removed during dressing changes, reducing the risk of infections. Cutimed Alginate is easy to cut to size and conforms perfectly to the contours of the wound, without overlapping the wound edges.
This dressing is suitable for various wound types such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, burns and donor sites. Thanks to its strong structure, the dressing remains intact during use and can remain in the wound for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of exudate. Rely on Cutimed Alginate for effective and comfortable wound care.
