Suprasorb A calcium alginate compress (s) 10 x 10 cm (8 pieces)

Instructions for use of Suprasorb A calcium alginate compresses

Suprasorb A is a special compress that ensures clean wound conditions in heavily exuding wounds.The active ingredient calcium alginate, obtained from natural brown algae, is characterized by its high absorption capacity.The compress is soft and can be easily tamponated, which means it fits perfectly to the wound base.

A special feature of Suprasorb A is its high exudate absorption and rapid gel formation.A gel is formed by the exchange of calcium ions from the wound dressing with the sodium ions in the wound exudate.This binds the exudate and traps bacteria and tissue debris.When changing the dressing, exudate, bacteria and tissue debris are removed along with the alginate fiber.

No prescription is required for this product.

Product features

Mode of action

Suprasorb A absorbs excess exudate from the wound and forms a gel through ion exchange.This gel binds the exudate and traps bacteria and tissue debris that is removed during dressing changes.

Application note

First, the wound should be cleaned according to the usual standard and the area around the wound should be carefully patted dry with sterile wound compresses.Suprasorb A is then placed loosely into the wound.A Suprasorb A tamponade can be loosely inserted into deep or jagged wounds.Depending on the degree of exudation, the compress is fixed with a suitable bandage, for example with Suprasorb P or Vliwasorb.

Dressing change interval

The dressing change interval is determined by the treating physician depending on the condition of the wound, the degree of exudation and the secondary dressing.The bandage should be changed after 5-7 days at the latest.
