Activheal Alginate Wound Dressing 5cm x 5cm x 10

ActivHeal Alginate Dressing

ActivHeal Alginate is a calcium-sodium alginate dressing designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. On contact with wound fluid, the fibres form a cohesive gel that supports a moist wound environment while conforming to irregular wound shapes. The dressing is suitable for a wide range of chronic and acute wounds and provides natural haemostatic properties that can help manage minor bleeding.

Key Benefits

• Absorbs moderate to heavy exudate and forms a soft gel for optimal moisture balance

• Promotes a moist wound healing environment that supports tissue repair

• Naturally haemostatic, releasing calcium ions that help control minor bleeding

• High wet strength allows the dressing to remain intact during removal

• Suitable for cavity wounds, pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, lacerations, and partial-thickness burns

How to Use

• Cleanse and prepare the wound bed according to clinical best practice

• Apply the dressing directly to the wound, choosing sheet or rope formats based on wound depth

• Secure with a suitable secondary dressing

• Change the dressing when saturated or as advised by a healthcare professional
