The Urgosorb Borderis an absorbent dressing giving effects of calcium alginate fibres and hydrocolloid particles. After contact with exudate, sodium and calcium ions are exchanged between wound and dressing. It maintains a moist environment that facilitates the healing process in the wound. It absorbs exudate, drains and softens necrotic debris on the wounds. It activates platelets and promotes haemostasis of bleeding wounds.

The alginate Silver Dressings are non-woven, sterile, and highly absorbent dressings, having antimicrobial properties and MRSA. It absorbs the exudate and pus from the wounds, which in turn leads the alginate to form a gel aiding autolytic debridement. Autolysis is the process that uses the bodys enzymes and moisture that rehydrates and soften the wound tissues. Whereas debridement liquefies only the necrotic tissue, it is a relatively painless process.
The Alginate Dressings are dressings made out of natural seaweed. They are useful for covering moderate to heavily exuding wounds and shallow wounds of all kinds that are hard to dress. It helps the patient be as active as possible while its wet integrity enables rapid changes in the dressing while causing minimal discomfort to the patient.
What is Cutimed Alginate Dressing?
The Cutimed Alginate Dressing is a type of wound dressing that falls under the category of Alginate dressing. These dressings provide moist wound healing by maintaining a humid environment around the wound. These dressings come with haemostatic properties that release calcium ion when the dressing comes in contact with body fluids. It helps clean the wound bacteria that by trapping the bacteria in the gel formed by exudate and then removes them when the dressing is changed.
Urgosorb Silver Dressing is the absorbent dressing with a broad spectrum which has the power of antibacterial action which would decrease the bacteria count. It helps in the treatment of the infected wounds and is most effective with the wounds having a risk of local infection.
What is Urgosorb Silver Dressing?
Urgosob Silver Dressing controls the bacterial count. It is composed of Calcium alginate fibre, Hydrocolloid and silver particles. When on contact with exudate, it forms a layer of gel which maintains a moist healing environment and then slowly the silver ions are released to prevent infection from multiplying. It also has homeostatic properties. The Urgosob Silver dressing comes in:
