ADVANCED WOUND CARE
Algostéril® dressings and ropes are indicated in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds.
Haemostatic: Algostéril®’s efficacy is due to its release of calcium ions accelerating local coagulation, while its alginate fiber matrix contributes to structuring and reinforcing the blood clot.
Healing: as soon as it comes in contact with the wound, Algostéril® exchanges its Ca++ ions with the Na+ ions of wound fluids (exudate or blood). This ionic exchange activates key cells of the healing process. Algostéril®’s fibers gellify, creating a moist environment favorable to wound healing.
Prevents infection: Locally, Algostéril® traps bacteria in its gellified interfibrilar matrix. Algostéril® inhibits the growth of bacteria responsible for toxic shock syndrome.
Coalgan® is a haemostatic swab, made of calcium alginate fibers. Coalgan® activates the platelet aggregation, reducing coagulation time.
Coalgan®-
FOREseal® is made of calcium polyglycuronates threads which are knitted to form a blocked meshwork sleeve. Composed of two knitted, coated sleeves, FOREseal® is available in different sizes and customized to fit most linear cutting staplers. FOREseal® is indicated in lung surgery.
