Cutimed^® Alginate

Calcium sodium alginate dressing

A calcium sodium alginate (80% calcium and 20% sodium) made out of natural seaweed. The alginate component enables the dressing to absorb up to 20 times its own weight in exudate.

indications

Moderate to heavily exuding wounds
Shallow and cavity wounds
Venous, arterial, pressure and diabetic foot ulcers
Donor sites
Abrasions and lacerations
Superficial and partial thickness burns

features & benefits

Facilitates moist wound healing by maintaining a moist environment
Haemostatic properties due to the release of calcium ions when in contact with exudate
Reduces the risk of maceration due to high levels of absorbency

Mode of action
- The exchange of calcium ions (within the dressing) with sodium ions (in exudate) transforms the alginate into a moist gel.
