Calgisorb Ag Calcium Alginate 5cm X 5cm Dressing With Antimicrobial Silver Pad 1

Calgisorb Ag Calcium Alginate 5cm X 5cm Dressing With Antimicrobial Silver Pad 1 is used for supporting the healing of moderate to heavily exuding wounds. It combines the absorbent properties of calcium alginate with the antimicrobial benefits of silver. This unique formulation promotes rapid wound healing by absorbing excess exudate, reducing infection risk, and creating a moist healing environment. Its gentle, non-adherent design ensures painless removal, minimizing trauma to the wound bed. Calgisorb Ag is ideal for various wound types, including diabetic ulcers, venous and arterial leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and burns.

• Effective Wound Management: Designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous and arterial leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, burns, and surgical wounds.
   
• Advanced Absorption: The combination of CMC and Calcium Alginate ensures rapid absorption of wound exudate, creating an optimal moist healing environment.
   
• Powerful Antimicrobial Action: Incorporated silver ions provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing.
   
• Sustained Antimicrobial Effect: The antimicrobial action persists for up to 7 days, offering long-lasting protection against bacterial growth and biofilm formation.
   
• Rapid Gelling: Quickly forms a soft gel upon contact with wound exudate, minimizing discomfort during dressing changes.
   
• High Wet Strength: Maintains structural integrity, allowing for easy, one-piece removal without damaging delicate tissue.
   
• Odour Reduction: Helps reduce unpleasant wound odour, improving patient comfort and quality of life.
   
• Sterile and Single-Use: Ensures hygienic application and minimizes the risk of contamination.
   
• Size: 5cm x 5cm.
   
• Painless Removal: The low-adherent nature of the dressing minimises pain and trauma during dressing changes, promoting patient comfort and adherence to management.

• Enhanced Wound Healing: Calgisorb Ag's unique combination of CMC and Calcium Alginate creates an optimal moist healing environment. It rapidly absorbs excess exudate, preventing maceration and promoting granulation tissue formation. The controlled release of silver ions provides sustained antimicrobial activity, reducing the risk of infection. The dressing's soft, conformable nature minimizes trauma to the wound bed during dressing changes, accelerating wound healing and reducing healing time.
   
• Pain Management: Calgisorb Ag's gentle, non-adherent nature minimizes pain during application and removal. The formation of a soft gel cushion protects the wound bed from further damage. The dressing's ability to absorb excess exudate reduces discomfort associated with wound moisture. This pain-reducing effect improves patient compliance and overall quality of life.
   
• Protection Against Infection: Calgisorb Ag's incorporated silver ions provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, inhibiting the growth of a wide range of bacteria. The dressing's ability to maintain a moist wound environment supports the natural defense mechanisms of the skin. The controlled release of silver ions ensures sustained antimicrobial activity, reducing the risk of recurrent infections. This proactive approach to infection prevention promotes faster healing and reduces the need for additional management.
   
• Improved Comfort: Calgisorb Ag's soft, conformable nature provides a comfortable and secure fit. The ability to absorb excess exudate reduces the risk of skin maceration and irritation. The dressing's odour-reducing properties improve patient comfort and quality of life. The painless removal process minimizes discomfort and promotes patient compliance with the management regimen. This focus on patient comfort enhances the overall wound care experience.

• Clean the wound area with appropriate wound cleanser.
• Pat the area around the wound dry.
• Place the alginate dressing over the wound.
• Secure a secondary dressing over the alginate dressing to hold it in place.
• Change the dressing every one to three days, or when fluid starts to seep out from the edges of the dressings.
• Before removing the alginate during a dressing change, use saline to dampen it in order to lower the risk of damaging the surrounding skin.

• For one-time use only.
• Keep it away from moisture.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Store at a cool and dry place.
