CovaWound™ AlginateAlginate Dressing
CALCIUM ALGINATE
A primary wound dressing made from the calcium salt of alginic acid (rich in Mannuronic acid). It is a flat non-woven pad or ribbon for application directly to open wounds or cavities.
A single layer wound contact dressing
CALCIUM ALGINATE
When in contact with serum, wound exudate, or solutions containing sodium ions, the insoluble calcium alginate is partially converted to the soluble sodium salt, and a soft, hydrophilic, gas permeable gel is rapidly produced, which conforms to the contours of the wound and provides a micro-environment that facilitates wound healing.
Exudate level
Heavy
Exudate level indicates the highest level of exudate that the dressing can accommodate.
