Frequently asked questions

Is this dressing effective for infected wounds?

Yes, Biatain Alginate Ag is specifically designed for wounds that are infected or at risk of infection. It is impregnated with ionic silver, which provides advanced antimicrobial protection to help manage infection while supporting the healing process.

Can I use this for deep or cavity wounds?

Absolutely. Because the dressing is non-adhesive and does not have a border, it is highly versatile. It can be easily cut or shaped to fit into deep cavities or irregular wound shapes to ensure full coverage and proper moisture management.

Does it handle heavy drainage well?

Yes, this dressing is engineered with a blend of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) and Calcium Alginate. This formulation gives it high absorbency, making it ideal for managing moderately to heavily exuding wounds.

Do I need a secondary dressing with this?

Since this is a non-adhesive dressing without a border, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with a secondary dressing. The secondary dressing will help secure the alginate in place and further assist in managing overall wound moisture.

Can I cut the dressing to fit my wound?

Yes, you can easily cut or shape the 2 x 2 inch square dressing to fit the specific dimensions and depth of your wound. Its flexible, fibrous material is designed for easy modification.

Biatain Alginate Ag is a sterile, medical-grade dressing designed for professional and home care. Because it is non-adhesive, it minimizes the risk of trauma to the wound bed and surrounding skin during application and removal.

  • Pressure ulcers
