CovaWound™ Alginate
Alginate Dressing
A primary wound dressing made from the calcium salt of alginic acid (rich in Mannuronic acid). It is a flat non-woven pad or ribbon for application directly to open wounds or cavities.
A single layer wound contact dressing
1. CALCIUM ALGINATE
When in contact with serum, wound exudate, or solutions containing sodium ions, the insoluble calcium alginate is partially converted to the soluble sodium salt, and a soft, hydrophilic, gas permeable gel is rapidly produced, which conforms to the contours of the wound and provides a micro-environment that facilitates wound healing.
Indications
CovaWound™ Alginate dressing may be applied to moderate to heavy exuding wounds like partial thickness burns, donor sites, leg, pressure, arterial, diabetic and venous stasis ulcers, cavity wounds, post-surgical incisions, trauma wounds and most other granulating wounds.
