clinical information

Non-woven calcium alginate dressing for heavily exuding wounds

Suprasorb® A

Calcium Alginate Dressing

The high exudate absorption capacity of Suprasorb A promotes wound healing. The absorption of wound exudate causes the exchange of sodium ions with calcium ions, forming a gel. Bacteria and debris are trapped in the gel, creating a moist wound environment.

Suprasorb A not only promotes wound healing but also offers a high degree of comfort due to its exceptionally soft structure and ease of packing.

For the care of non-infected superficial or deep wounds with high levels of exudate.

Clinical Evidence

EWMA Conference

Efficacy of different wound dressings on artificial plaques of fibrin

The "usual" foam dressing showed the lowest reduction of fibrin. The best reduction in this test was demonstrated by the water and polihexanide containing biocellulose dressing (PHWD) as well as significantly better as the cleansing solutions.

Antimicrobial Calcium Alginate Dressing with Silver

Suprasorb A+Ag is an antimicrobial alginate dressing for critically colonised and infected wounds.

The natural absorption capactity of alginate makes this ideal for wounds that are heavily exuding. Suprasorb A+Ag absorbs wound exudate and forms a soft, gentle gel, meaning it easily conforms to any wound bed. With the known broad antimicrobial efficacy of silver*, bacteria is trapped and killed within the gel.

Suprasorb A+Ag is available as both a flat sheet and as a rope dressing which can be used in cavities.

*See instruction for use for in-vitro spectrum
