Pharma-Algi ® F: Is a haemostatic and absorbent wound dressing, made of 100% calcium alginate fibres, carded and needle punched to form a nonwoven absorbent felt.
Pharma-Algi ® F Product Line is available as flat sheet for superficial wounds or as ribbon for cavity wounds and both need secondary dressing for fixation.
Features1-Haemostatic effect: due to calcium – sodium ions exchange where calcium ions are donated to the wound which is vital factor for the clotting process.
2-High Absorption capacity: absorb wound exudates and locks it inside the formed gel so prevents skin maceration.
3-Moist wound environment: Upon contact with wound exudates, it rapidly gels which overlays the wound and provides a moist micro-environment that promotes healing and formation of granulation tissue.
4-Conformable and Soft: conforms to wound contours.
5-Atraumatic Dressing removal: gel formation prevents adherence of the dressing to the newly formed tissues.
6-Unique Integrity: allowing removal of the dressing as one piece.
