Highly absorbing alginate dressing

Description

Askina® Sorb is a sterile primary wound dressing made of fibers
containing 85% of calcium alginate and 15% of carboxymethylcellulose
(CMC).
When in contact with wound exudate, the alginate-CMC
fibers are fast gelling, resulting from an ionic exchange between
calcium ions from the dressing and sodium ions from the
exudate, so as to form a soft moist gel conducive to natural
healing.

Advantages

• Conformable and easy to apply
• High absorption capacity
• Forms soft gel which can be removed in one piece,
  without residues
• Vertical absorption process: no lateral strike through, no maceration of wound edges
• Atraumatic dressing removal

Indication

Askina® Sorb is indicated for the management of moderately to heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, venous and arterial leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, traumatic wound, abrasions, 2 degree burns and post-operative wounds.
