Features:
MEDIHONEY Calcium Alginate Dressing contains 100% active Leptospermum honey impregnated into a calcium alginate pad. This dressing supports the removal of necrotic tissue and aids wound healing. The MEDIHONEY Calcium Alginate Dressing is specifically formulated for wounds with moderate to heavy amounts of exudate or when light packing is needed. As wound fluid enters the dressing, the honey is released while the dressing forms a gel. This dressing maintains effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid, blood, and tissue. Calcium Alginate Dressing is easy to use with potential for extended wear times (depending on exudate) and promotes a moisture-balanced environment conducive to wound healing. This dressing is suitable to be worn before, during, orafter negative pressure applications, and can be used as a cover dressing for skin grafts or substitutes. This non-toxic, natural, and safe dressing maintains a low pH of 3.5-4.5, maintaining more acidic pH levels within the wound environment, which helps keep the wound on track towards healing.
