HETIS SILVER ALGINATE is a non-woven antibacterial Alginate dressing extracted from seaweed with a combination of silver ions (silver concentration: 0.85 – 1.05% wt) to help dressing have antibacterial ability. Silver ions help to eliminate many types of bacteria while inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the wound bed.
– Broad bactericidal spectrum, high bactericidal efficiency, up to 99.99% with Staphylococcus aureus (yellow staph), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (green pus bacillus), Candida albicans fungus.
– The dressing has the ability to absorb a large amount of fluid and microorganisms in the wound fluid, 15-20 times the weight of dressing. When in contact with the wound, the dressing absorbs exdate and immediately forms a bio-gel film that helps maintain a moist environment and stimulates granulation tissue growth to promote wound healing. Thanks to the gel layer created, the dressing does not stick to the wound, making the patient feel comfortable and painless every time the dressing is changed.
– The dressing also has a hemostatic effect in small blood vessels by releasing calcium ions into the wound.
– The product is sterilized, each piece in a separate sterile bag.
– The products are available in different sizes, convenient for use.
