Alginate dressings

Alginate dressings

Kaltostat and Algisite M are the calcium alginate dressings clinicians reach for when a wound is exuding heavily or needs packing into a cavity. Alginate dressings are seaweed-derived and gel on contact with wound fluid, forming a soft mass that holds its shape in the wound bed and lifts out cleanly at the change.

They suit moderate to heavy exudate and cavity wounds where a conformable primary dressing matters. FAD carries Convatec's Kaltostat, Smith and Nephew's Algisite M, and Molnlycke's Melgisorb Plus, so the selection turns on the wound, not a supplier's single line.

Aquacel Ag Rope is held here for its alginate-style rope format; if the priority is antimicrobial cover, the silver dressings and antimicrobial dressings collections are the right place to choose by mechanism. The wound care hub sets out how primary and secondary dressings pair up.

The full alginate range sits alongside the secondary dressings that cover them, on the one account.

Always read the instructions for use.
