Kaltostat Alginate Dressing Kaltostat Alginate dressing is an alginate dressing indicated as a primary dressing for moderately to highly exuding chronic and acute wounds, and for wounds with minor bleeding. On contact with exudates the dressing gradually forms a firm, moist gel which is highly absorbent. Product Description Exudate Management For moderately to heavily exuding wounds KALTOSTAT dressing is an absorbent, calcium sodium alginate (80% Ca and 20% Na) with a high Guluronic acid content. When in contact with wound exudate, calcium ions in the dressing exchange with sodium ions in the exudate causing the dressing to transform from a dry, fibrous state to a firm, moist gel. The dressing provides a moist environment helping to create optimal wound healing conditions and maintains its integrity allowing for easy, atraumatic removal KALTOSTAT dressing is also designed to promote haemostasis, providing a matrix to support blood clot formation. Clinical Benefits Supports moist wound healing environment Non-adherent to wound surface allowing for easy, non-traumatic removal Longer wear time than conventional dressings, therefore cost-effective Haemostatic helps stop minor bleeding Indications KALTOSTAT dressing is indicated as a primary dressing for moderate to highly exuding wounds and for wounds with minor bleeding.
