Biatain® Alginate Ag

Biatain Alginate Ag is made of a unique combination of intertwined alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and contains a silver complex to provide continuous antibacterial effect during the entire wear time (up to 7 days). Biatain Alginate Ag is indicated for high exuding wounds that are infected or at risk of infection deeper than 2cm or where undermining is present.

It has superior absorption and enhanced dressing integrity i.e. one-piece removal. The unique structure ensures that the wound exudate is absorbed vertically resulting in local absorption and hence minimising the risk of maceration.

Documented haemostatic effect 

• (Contrary to hydrofiber dressings, Biatain Alginate Ag has documented haemostatic effect, ie. ability to arrest blood flow in minor bleeding)
