Alginates

Biatain Alginate

Alginate dressing. An absorbent, sterile, non-woven, pad consisting of calcium alginate, and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fibre.

Coloplast

Biatain Alginate Ag

A soft, flexible and absorbent antibacterial foam dressing with a gentle silicone adhesive. Contains silver, which is continuously released into the wound. Can be used on infected wounds or wounds at risk of infection

Covalon Technologies

CovaWound Alginate

A primary wound dressing made from the calcium salt of alginic acid, which is rich in mannuronic acid

Essity

Cutimed Alginate

Sterile, non-medicated alginate dressing, consisting of calcium and sodium alginate.

Flen Health

Flaminal Forte

Enzyme Alginogel containing two antimicrobial enzymes, glucose oxidase and lactoperoxidase, which provide antimicrobial protection without damaging healthy skin cells and reduce bacteria released from a biofilm. Debrides the wound and manages moisture balance. Can be used on a wide range of wound types and at every stage of healing.

Flen Health

Flaminal Hydro

Convatec

Kaltostat

Sterile non-woven calcium-sodium alginate fibre dressing. On contact with a bleeding wound, promotes haemostasis.

Mediq

Kliniderm Alginate

A sterile, non-woven calcium/sodium alginate dressing consisting of a high G (guluronic acid) that absorbs exudate and provides a moist healing environment. Cavity variant available for deep wounds.

Mölnlycke

Melgisorb Plus

A highly absorbent alginate dressing

Solventum (KCI Medical)

Silvercel

Silver alginate dressing containing a non-adherent layer that releases silver ions into wound fluid while also protecting the wound bed

Solventum (KCI Medical)

Silvercel Non-Adherent

Silver alginate dressing with unique non-adherent layer that allows release of silver ions into the wound fluid while also protecting the wound bed

Creed Health

Sorbsan

Natural calcium alginate dressing constructed of loose fibers made from seaweed. Forming an amorphous gel when in contact with exudate, allows the dressing to maximise contact with the wound bed, reducing the risk of untreated gaps. Sorbsan fibres totally disperse upon irrigation minimising the potential for foreign body reaction.

Creed Health

Sorbsan Silver Flat

A sterile, non-woven, calcium alginate dressing with silver. High in mannuronic acid and low in guluronic acid. The fibres swell and form a gel on contact with wound exudate, releasing ionic silver particles to reduce bioburden. Will promote haemostasis in bleeding wounds.

Spirit Health

Spirit Alginate

Dressings to control minor bleeding, derived from the calcium salts of seaweed. The alginate fibres form a hydrophilic gel on contact with wound fluid to allow maximum contact with the wound bed. Alginates absorb exudate away from the wound while providing a moist wound environment conducive to healing. The range offers an alginate ribbon for narrow wounds or sinuses, alginate packing in the form a ‘rope’ for cavities and an alginate flat sheet for application to shallow wounds.
