Discover the Power of Cutimed Alginate Wound Dressing 10 x 10 cm - 10 pieces
Cutimed Alginate is a high-quality calcium sodium alginate wound dressing, specially made from natural seaweed. This product excels in its ability to absorb up to 20 times its own weight in exudate. As soon as Cutimed Alginate comes into contact with wound fluid, it quickly changes from a dry alginate into a moist, soft gel. This gel provides an optimal moist wound environment that supports healing. In addition, the non-woven intermediate layer offers unique stability, which is essential for effective wound treatment.
Cutimed Alginate's gel traps bacteria and debris, which are then removed when the dressing is changed. This significantly reduces the risk of leakage and softening of the wound edges. In addition, Cutimed Alginate has a haemostatic effect, which contributes to the patient's comfort. The fibers are flexible and adapt perfectly to the contours of the wound, making the product easy to apply and remove without much discomfort.
Cutimed Alginate is ideal for wounds with a lot of exudate, such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, burns and donor sites. This dressing can remain in the wound for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of exudate. The strong structure of the alginate remains intact during use, making it easy to remove in its entirety.
