Reinforced Calcium Alginate Dressing
Next-generation calcium alginate wound dressings
In addition to the calcium alginate fibres, Suprasorb A Pro now also contains cellulose fibres, which provide support and have a stabilising effect, improving product’s performance.
The absorption of wound exudate causes the exchange of sodium ions with calcium ions, forming a gel. Bacteria and debris are trapped in the gel, maintaining a moist wound environment79)80) .
