When applied, alginate dressings exudate to gradually form a firm, moist gel that is highly absorbent and effective at healing wounds. Safe and sterile, Care Shop's alginate dressings help to protect wounds from further infections and assist in the healing process. These dressings can be used for moderate and high exuding chronic or acute wounds, and may also be used on wounds with some minor bleeding.

Care Shop supplies a variety of Kaltostate calcium sodium alginate dressings made by ConvaTec, a leading medical supplies and technology company. Each pad is capable of absorbing up to 20 times its weight in moisture. Used as a primary dressing, our range of alginate dressings are available in a variety of sizes to suit most wounds. The non-woven and non-adhesive pads feature superior strength for the best possible protection.

Alongside our range of alginate dressings, we offer a variety of other wound care supplies to help promote rapid healing, including wound cleansers, hydrocolloid dressings and burns dressings.
