BIATAIN Alginate compresses 5x5 cm, Cavity wound
Biatain® Alginate is a highly absorbent alginate dressing for moderately to heavily exuding wounds of various sizes, shapes and depths. Biatain® Alginate has excellent absorption compared to other alginate and hydrofibre dressings (1).
Recommended for wound cavities
The woven material structure of the dressing allows it to be tailored to suit the size, shape and depth of the wound. The dressing adapts to the wound bed, which is important for the healing process.
Cavity wound, BIATAIN Alginate compresses 5x5 cm High Cohesion
The high cohesion allows the dressing to be removed in one piece — with minimal pain and trauma (1,2).
Minimal risk of leakage and maceration
The excellent absorption of Biatain® Alginate (1,2) as well as its gel formation, which allows wound exudate to be retained in the dressing, prevents leakage that can damage the surrounding skin.
Proven haemostatic effect
Unlike hydrofiber dressings, Biatain® Alginate dressings have a proven haemostatic effect, ie they can stop minor bleeding by releasing calcium ions from the dressing (4,5).
Mode of action
Upon contact with wound exudate, Biatain® Alginate becomes a soft, cohesive gel that provides an optimal moist wound environment for healing (2).
