1. What is CelluHeal™ Calcium Alginate Dressing used for?
CelluHeal™ Calcium Alginate Dressing is a seaweed-derived wound care solution designed to manage moderate to heavily draining wounds. Upon contact with wound fluid, the alginate fibers transform into a gel, creating a moist environment that promotes faster healing and provides superior absorption.
2. How does the calcium alginate dressing promote healing?
The dressing absorbs up to 20 times its weight in wound fluid, forming a soft gel that maintains a moist environment conducive to healing. This gel formation also ensures added comfort during dressing changes.
3. What types of wounds are suitable for this dressing?
It's ideal for pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, leg ulcers, burn injuries, surgical wounds, and other wounds with moderate to heavy exudate.
4. How do I apply the dressing?
Cleanse the wound and surrounding skin with a wound cleanser. Place the calcium alginate dressing over the entire wound, including any tunnels or undermining. Secure it with an absorbent secondary dressing, such as a foam dressing. Replace the dressing based on the level of drainage to maintain balanced moisture.
5. How often should I change the dressing?
Change the dressing as needed, depending on the wound's drainage level, to maintain a balanced moist environment—neither too wet nor too dry.
6. Is the dressing sterile and safe for use?
Yes, each dressing is individually wrapped to ensure sterility and safe, hygienic use in medical care.
7. Can this dressing be used on dry wounds?
No, CelluHeal™ Calcium Alginate Dressing is not intended for use on dry wounds. It's designed for wounds with moderate to heavy drainage.
