Coloplast Biatain Alginate Dressing

Why choose Coloplast Biatain Alginate Dressing?

• Recommended for cavity filling - The design and the structural integrity of the dressing allow to cut the dressing and make it fit wounds of many sizes, shapes, and depths. The dressing will conform to the wound bed which is important for the wound healing process.
• High dressing integrity - The high dressing integrity allows for one-piece removal of the dressing with minimal pain and trauma
• Reduced risk of leakage and maceration - The superior absorption of Biatain Alginate dressing and the gel formation, which locks the exudate inside the dressing, prevents leakage that can damage the peri-wound skin.
• Documented haemostatic effect - Contrary to Hydrofiber dressings, Biatain Alginate has documented haemostatic effect, i.e. ability to arrest blood flow in minor bleedings due to the release of calcium ions from the dressing
• Mode of action - On contact with wound exudate, Biatain Alginate converts to a soft, cohesive gel that provides an optimal moist wound healing environment.
• Can be used on all moderate to heavily exuding partial to full thickness wounds
• Biatain Alginate may assist in supporting the control of minor bleeding in superficial wounds
• Can be used with compression therapy
