Biatain - Alginate (loose)

Indications
For moderate to heavily exuding partial- to full-thickness wounds, including:

• Pressure ulcers

• Venous leg ulcers

• Arterial ulcers

• Diabetic foot ulcers

• Donor sites

• Traumatic wounds

• Can be used with compression therapy

• May help control minor bleeding in superficial wounds

⚠️ Not suitable for:

• Dry or lightly exuding wounds

• Control of heavy bleeding

Key Features

• Recommended for cavity filling – dressing can be cut to fit various wound sizes, shapes and depths; conforms to the wound bed

• High dressing integrity – allows one-piece removal with minimal pain and trauma

• Minimised risk of leakage and maceration – superior absorption and gel formation lock exudate inside the dressing, protecting periwound skin

• Documented haemostatic effect – releases calcium ions to support minor bleeding control (unlike hydrofibre dressings)

• On contact with exudate, converts to a soft, cohesive gel that supports moist wound healing

• Composition: 85% alginate and 15% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)
