CUTIMED Alginate Alginate compresses 5x5 cm, 10 pcs

Product features

Cutimed Alginate alginate compresses are 5.0 cm x 5.0 cm in size and offer natural exudate management with high absorption capacity.They are made from natural sea algae and are composed of 80% calcium and 20% sodium.The compresses are latex-free.

During the exchange of the calcium ions of the wound dressing with the sodium ions of the exudate, the alginate converts into a gel while absorbing fluid.Cutimed Alginate is characterized by a very high and rapid absorption and retention capacity, which reduces the number of dressing changes and reduces the risk of maceration.The compresses have a hemostatic effect on wounds that bleed easily and adapt to any wound base thanks to their highly flexible fibers.

Cutimed Alginate is easy to cut and has excellent stability when wet.The carrier material is a semi-permeable non-woven fabric, which is coated on both sides with natural fibers from seaweed.An integrity layer contained in the product core gives the dressing improved wet stability.

Areas of application

Cutimed Alginate is suitable for the treatment of secondary healing wounds, such as chronic wounds, e.g. leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers and decubitus ulcers, as well as acute wounds, such as split-thickness skin donor sites, abrasions and lacerations, and 1st and 2nd degree burns.It is also suitable for moderate to heavily exuding wounds such as superficial injuries, hollow wounds, pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, venous/arterial leg ulcers, donor areas and post-operative wounds.Cutimed Alginate can also be used under compression therapy.

Duration of application

The duration of application depends on the condition of the wound, e.g. the amount of exudate.The dressing should be changed depending on the patient and the wound situation, but at the latest after 7 days.Continuous use should not exceed 30 days in total.
