Kaltostat is composed of calcium‑sodium alginate fibres that absorb wound exudate and body fluids, converting into a soft, moist gel that conforms to the wound bed. This helps maintain a moist wound healing environment, supports fluid balance, and allows atraumatic dressing changes.
When applied to a bleeding wound, the dressing’s alginate structure can also help promote haemostasis (minor bleeding control) by supporting clot formation at the wound surface.
???? Key Benefits
Moist Wound Healing: Promotes a moist environment that supports tissue repair and cellular activity.
High Absorbency: Highly absorbent alginate fibres can manage moderate to heavy exudate better than standard gauze.
Haemostatic Support: Helps control minor bleeding and maintain fluid balance at the wound site.
Non‑Adherent: Forms a gel that prevents sticking to wound tissue, enabling gentle removal and reducing trauma.
Versatile Formats: Available as pads, ropes, and cavity fillers for varied wound types.
