Biatain Alginate

Biatain Alginate is a highly absorbent alginate dressing for moderately to heavily exuding wounds of various sizes, shapes, and depths. Biatain Alginate exhibits excellent absorption compared to other alginate and hydrofiber dressings.

Recommended for wound cavities:
The woven material structure of the dressing allows it to be cut to size according to the size, shape, and depth of the wound. The dressing conforms to the wound bed, which is important for the healing process.

High cohesion:
The high cohesion allows the bandage to be removed in one piece - with minimal pain and trauma.

Minimal risk of leakage and maceration:
The excellent absorption of Biatain alginate, as well as the gel formation that stores wound exudate in the dressing, prevents leaks that can damage the surrounding skin.

Proven hemostatic effect:
Unlike hydrofiber dressings, Biatain alginate dressings have a proven hemostatic effect, meaning they can stop minor bleeding by releasing calcium ions from the dressing.

Mode of action:
Upon contact with wound exudate, Biatain Alginate becomes a soft, cohesive gel that provides an optimal moist wound environment for healing.

Product composition:
Biatain Alginate is an alginate dressing consisting of 85% alginate and 15% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC).

Use:
Biatain Alginate can be used on all moderately to heavily exuding superficial to deep wounds. Biatain Alginate can help control minor bleeding in superficial wounds. Biatain Alginate can also be used under compression therapy. Biatain Alginate should not be used on dry or slightly exuding wounds, nor for controlling severe bleeding. Biatain Alginate is indicated for pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, split-thickness skin graft donor sites, and traumatic wounds.
