Silver alginate wound paste

Description

Askina Calgitrol Paste is a highly conformable paste composed of the same ionic silver alginate matrix used in the Askina Calgitrol Ag flat dressings. The high conformability allows more intimate contact between the active ionic silver alginate matrix and the wound bed, which is particularly valuable in difficult to manage wounds such as tunnels and sinuses, seen in patients with second degree burns and diabetic foot ulcers.

Advantages

• Highly conformable paste for intimate contact with the wound bed
• 100% ionic silver, active against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including MRSA
• No activation needed
• Sustained controlled delivery for long lasting antibacterial protection
• Maintains a moist wound environment
• Easy to remove by simple rinsing
• Non staining

Indication

Management of exuding partial to full thickness wounds: Stage I IV pressure ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers, neuropathic ulcers, second degree burns. May be used on infected wounds under medical supervision.
