Calginate-Ag is a Calcium Alginate Dressing with Antimicrobial Silver designed for faster granulation. It features an enhanced performance of a Silver Hydro-Alginate by utilizing a combination of CMC and Alginate that enhances absorption of exudates, allowing it to hold 15 times exudate than its weight.
Uses:

• Calginate-Ag (Calcium Alginate Dressing with Antimicrobial Silver) is specifically designed to manage moderate-to-heavy fluid discharge (exudate) and promote faster granulation tissue formation.

  Indication:

  • Diabetic foot ulcers.

  • Venous leg ulcers and arterial leg ulcers.

  • Pressure ulcers (bedsores).

  • Donor graft sites and complex oncology wounds.

  Advantages:

  • Massive Exudate Retention: Holds up to 15 times its own weight in wound exudate through a highly absorptive combination of CMC and Alginate.

  • Fast & Lasting Antimicrobial Action: Delivers a 24% faster initial silver elution to quickly knock down pathogens, while maintaining a sustained barrier for up to 7 days.

  • Broad Biofilm Defense: Features proven antibiofilm properties effective against heavy-hitting microbes such as MRSA, MRSE, VRE, S. aureus, E. coli, Candida albicans, and P. aeruginosa.

  • Clinical Comfort: Forms a soft gel that conforms exactly to the wound bed contours, reduces foul wound odors, and maintains high wet strength to allow single-piece, pain-free removal.

  Applications

  • Applied to the wound bed to accelerate the formation of healthy granulation tissue.

  • Utilized primarily for wounds presenting moderate-to-heavy fluid discharge (exudate).

  Post-Applications

  • Decontamination: Drastically limits the recovery of active biofilm bacteria within the dressing matrix.

  • Granulation: Promotes faster tissue remodeling and clean granulation, setting up a healthy wound bed for downstream closure.
