Product Overview
The Coloplast Biatain Alginate Ag is a sterile, silver alginate dressing designed to manage moderately to heavily exuding wounds, including chronic and acute wounds, burns, and ulcers. Infused with ionic silver, it provides antimicrobial protection to help reduce the risk of infection while promoting a moist wound healing environment. The alginate fibers form a soft gel upon contact with wound exudate, facilitating gentle removal and minimizing trauma during dressing changes.
Features:
- Contains ionic silver for antimicrobial protection.
- Highly absorbent alginate fibers to manage moderate to heavy exudate.
- Forms a soft gel when in contact with wound fluid, reducing pain during removal.
- Non-adherent to the wound bed, minimizing trauma.
- Sterile and ready for single-use application.
- Suitable for partial and full-thickness wounds, including diabetic ulcers and pressure injuries.
Specifications:
- Size: 2 x 2 inches (5 x 5 cm) square.
- Material: Sodium alginate with silver.
- Sterility: Sterile, single-use dressing.
- Packaging: Individually wrapped.
Use Suggestion:
Before application, cleanse the wound with an appropriate solution. Place the dressing directly on the wound, ensuring full coverage. For highly exuding wounds, a secondary dressing may be required to secure the alginate and absorb excess fluid. Change the dressing as needed, typically every 1–3 days, or when exudate saturates the pad. For infected wounds, consult a healthcare professional for guidance on duration of use.
