ActivHeal Alginate is a soft, absorbent primary dressing made from seaweed-derived fibers, designed for moderate to heavily exuding, partial to full-thickness wounds. It transforms into a gel upon contact with exudate to maintain a moist healing environment, aids autolytic debridement, and controls minor bleeding.

Key Features and Benefits:

High Absorption: Effectively manages fluid in wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers.
Comfortable & Non-Adherent: Forms a soft gel that is easy to remove without causing trauma.
Conformable: Suitable for packing cavity wounds.
High Wet Strength: Ensures the dressing remains intact during removal.
Composition: Composed of 80% calcium and 20% sodium alginate.

Usage Instructions:

Cleanse the wound bed.
Select the appropriate size, applying directly to the wound (can be cut or packed into cavities).
Secure with a secondary dressing (e.g., film or foam).
Change when the dressing has fully gelled or according to the wound assessment.

Note: ActivHeal® Alginate is not intended for dry or lightly exuding wounds.
