Wound Care Products: Bestsellers 2019

Wounds heal faster, with less pain and less scarring, in a moist environment. Advanced wound dressings work by hydration, adding moisture to the wound bed, or by absorption, absorbing drainage thereby keeping the wound bed moist. Choose dressings according to the characteristics of the wound.

Calcium Alginate Dressings

Calcium Alginate Dressings are derived from seaweed and available as sheets or ropes for packing deep wounds. They absorb moderate to heavy wound draining and are capable of absorbing many times their own weight. Once applies they form a moist gel-like covering and always require a cover dressing. Not recommended for lightly draining wounds.

Hydrogels

Hydrogels are transparent and water-based. They hydrate tissue and facilitate debridement using the body’s own enzymes. Because of the relatively high water content, there is limited drainage and/or absorption. Some sheets and all gels need a cover dressing and tape to hold them in place and are easy to use. They require no mixing. Not recommended for moderate or heavily draining wounds because of limited absorptive ability.
