Suprasorb® A Calcium Alginate Dressings and Rope are soft and conformable calcium alginate dressings. Suprasorb® A Calcium Alginate Dressings and Rope create an ideal wound environment and are indicated for the treatment of heavily exuding and deep wounds. The calcium alginate fibres react with wound exudate or blood and form a gel, which creates a moist wound environment.

Next-generation calcium alginate wound dressings.

In addition to the calcium alginate fibres, Suprasorb A Pro now also contains cellulose fibres, which provide support and have a stabilising effect, improving product’s performance.

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, maintaining a moist wound environment.

Product composition:
calcium alginate fibre, cellulose fibre

Fields of application:

For the care of acute and chronic superficial or deep wounds with high levels of exudate.

Indications:

• arterial ulcers
• venous ulcers
• diabetic ulcers
• decubital ulcers
• surgical wounds
• skin graft and donor sites

Wound healing stages:

• exudation phase
• granulation phase

Properties:

• high absorption and retention capacity
• protection of the wound edge
• support for the wound healing process thanks to autolytic debridement
• binding of bacteria and cell debris in the gel
• removable in one piece
• haemostatic effect

To note:

• Dressing change interval: Depending on the level of exudate up to 7 days.
• Before application, can be cut to the size of the wound.
• Can be retained with a suitable secondary dressing, e.g. Suprasorb P sensitive, depending on the level of exudate.
• Can be used under compression.
