Biatain Alginate Ag Dressing

Biatain Alginate Ag is a non-woven, highly absorbent silver dressing designed for use with heavy-exudate partial- to full-thickness wounds, including injuries at risk for infection and in conjunction with a compression bandage. Comprised of 85% calcium alginate, 15% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and an ionic silver complex, Biatain gels on contact with wound exudate and conforms to the wound bed for optimal infection control, preventing leakage and maceration of the surrounding skin. The silver complex releases ions into the exudate to create a haemostatic effect that stops the blood flow in minor bleedings.
