When in contact with wound exudate, the alginate fibres transform into a soft, cohesive gel. This gel helps maintain a moist wound environment, which is essential for promoting natural healing processes, while also aiding in autolytic debridement by facilitating the removal of slough and necrotic tissue.
Kaltostat Calcium Dressings are highly conformable, allowing them to adapt closely to the wound bed, including irregularly shaped and cavity wounds. They also possess mild haemostatic properties, making them suitable for use on minor bleeding wounds, such as post-surgical sites or donor areas.
These dressings are indicated for a wide range of wound types, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and donor sites. They are easy to apply and remove, helping to minimise trauma and discomfort during dressing changes.
Overall, Kaltostat Calcium Dressings provide reliable absorbency, gentle wound cleansing, and enhanced patient comfort, making them a trusted choice for both acute and chronic wound management.
