KIS Alginate is a calcium-alginate dressing which forms a soft, integral gel when it comes into contact with wound exudate. Excess wound exudate is absorbed in this process. Algisite M utilises the proven benefits of moist wound healing, which results in faster healing of even difficult wounds.
When applied to a wound there will be an ion-exchange between the calcium in the dressing and sodium from the exudate, forming a soluble calcium/sodium alginate gel. The free calcium ions in the wound will amplify the clotting cascade and can reduce bleeding. 
The interaction with the wound exudates will create a protective gel that is nonadherent and creates a moist wound healing environment.

Features:

  • Highly absorbent.
  • Maintains a moist environment.
  • Easy application and removal
  • Excellent wet strength.

Indications:

  • Control minor bleeding
  • Moderate to heavily exuding wounds
  • Cavity wounds
  • Pressure injuries
  • Leg ulcers
  • Post surgical wounds
  • Graft and donor sites
  • Skin tears

Tips for using:

  • Clean the wound with sterile water or saline solution.
  • Choose the right size of dressing according to wound area.
  • Cut out dressing to size using sterile scissors.
  • A secondary dressing is necessary when using calcium alginates.
  • Before removing this product during a dressing change, dampen dressing with sterile water or saline solution to lower the risk of damaging the surrounding skin
