Description

ALGISITE^◊ Ag is an absorbent dressing for moderately to highly exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-operative wounds and fungating lesions.

ALGISITE^◊ Ag consists of the following:

An absorbent type 1 calcium alginate dressing
Non-woven dressing of silver impregnated calcium alginate fibre

ALGISITE^◊ Ag forms a gel on contact with fluid, which creates a moist wound healing environment, to assist faster healing. ALGISITE^◊ Ag provides an antimicrobial barrier.

ALGISITE^◊ Ag may be left in place over a wound for up to 7 days.

Indications

ALGISITE^◊ Ag may be used on wounds where there is a moderate to high level of exudate. ALGISITE^◊ Ag is therefore suitable for the management of:

Partial thickness and full thickness wounds
Arterial, venous and diabetic leg ulcers
Pressure sores
Post-operative wounds
Fungating lesions

ALGISITE^◊ Ag may be used in conjunction with graduated compression therapy for the management of venous leg ulceration, when so directed by the physician.

ALGISITE^◊ Ag may be used on wounds which are infected or are likely to become infected.

Contraindications / Precautions

Do not use on patients with a known sensitivity to ALGISITE^◊ Ag calcium alginate, or any of its components.
