Product Description

Recommended for cavity filling

The design and structural integrity of the dressing allows you to cut the dressing to fit any size, shape and depth of wound. The shape of the dressing will conform to the wound bed, which is important for the wound healing process.

High wound dressing integrity

High dressing integrity makes it possible to remove the dressing in one piece with minimal pain and trauma.

Minimized risk of leakage and maceration

The superior absorption of Biatain® Alginate and the gel formation that locks exudate within the dressing prevent leakage that may occur in the peri-wound skin.

Documented hemostatic effect

Unlike hydrofiber dressings, Biatain® Alginate has a documented hemostatic effect, i.e. the ability to stop blood flow in minor bleedings by releasing calcium ions from the dressing.

Mechanism of action

On contact with wound exudate, Biatain® Alginate transforms into a soft, cohesive gel that provides an optimum moist wound healing environment.

Product composition

Biatain® Alginate is an alginate dressing composed of 85% alginate and 15% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC).

Use

Biatain® Alginate may be used on moderately to heavily exuding partial to full thickness wounds. Biatain® Alginate may help support the control of minor bleeding in superficial wounds. Biatain® Alginate may be used in conjunction with compression therapy. Biatain® Alginate should not be used on dry or lightly exuding wounds or to control major bleeding. Biatain® Alginate is indicated for pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites and traumatic wounds.
