Kaltostat Alginate Dressing
Kaltostat Alginate dressing is an alginate dressing indicated as a primary dressing for moderately to highly exuding chronic and acute wounds, and for wounds with minor bleeding. On contact with exudates the dressing gradually forms a firm, moist gel which is highly absorbent.
Product Description
Exudate Management For moderately to heavily exuding wounds
KALTOSTAT dressing is an absorbent, calcium sodium alginate (80% Ca and 20% Na) with a high Guluronic acid content. When in contact with wound exudate, calcium ions in the dressing exchange with sodium ions in the exudate causing the dressing to transform from a dry, fibrous
state to a firm, moist gel. The dressing provides a moist environment helping to create optimal wound healing conditions and maintains its integrity allowing for easy, atraumatic removal
KALTOSTAT dressing is also designed to promote haemostasis, providing a matrix to support blood clot formation.
Clinical Benefits
- Supports moist wound healing environment
- Non-adherent to wound surface allowing for easy, non-traumatic removal
- Longer wear time than conventional dressings, therefore cost-effective
- Haemostatic helps stop minor bleeding
Indications
KALTOSTAT dressing is indicated as a primary dressing for moderate to highly exuding wounds and for wounds with minor bleeding.
- Chronic wounds: leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers and fungating lesions
- Acute wounds: donor sites, abrasions, lacerations and post-surgical wounds
