Algivon dressing 5cm x 5cm (x5)
Product Description
Algivon- Alginate dressing impregnated with 100% Manuka honey
Features
-
Manuka honey brings the following properties:
-
Anti-bacterial - kills harmful bacteria
-
Anti-inflammatory
-
Eliminates odours without masking them
-
Osmotic effect, drawing harmful tissue away from the wound bed
-
Maintains the ideal moist wound healing environment
Algivon is an ideal choice for wetter wounds as the alginate has a small capacity to absorb, meaning the honey isn't washed away with exudate therefore staying at the wound site for longer. The dressing is very soft and conformable, ideal for cavities and debriding and de-sloughing large areas of necrotic and sloughy tissue.
