Calagin Calcium Alginate Haemostatic Dressing (5 x 5cm, Sterile, 10/Box) is a natural, seaweed-derived wound dressing for managing small-to-moderate bleeding wounds. On contact with exudate or blood, the alginate fibres absorb moisture and release calcium ions that promote rapid clot formation, while the gel that forms creates a protective moist environment over the wound without adhering to the wound bed.
Key Features
- 5 x 5cm pad size β ideal for smaller wound sites, puncture wounds, and superficial injuries
- Natural calcium alginate fibres interact with blood to accelerate clotting
- Gel-forming action maintains a moist wound environment for optimal healing
- Non-adherent β lifts away cleanly without disturbing healing tissue
- Reduces blood loss in minor-to-moderate bleeding wounds
- Sterile, 10 per box β generous supply for clinic or ward use
- Available as pads or ropes (sold separately) to suit wound type and depth
Ideal For
- Small surgical wounds, venepuncture sites, and biopsy sites
- Donor site dressings post skin graft procedures
- Minor-to-moderate bleeding wounds in hospital, clinic, and community care
- Chronic wound management including pressure injuries and leg ulcers
Usage tip: Apply directly to the wound. Moisten with saline before removal if the dressing has dried β this preserves the non-traumatic removal benefit. Do not use on dry wounds without exudate, as the alginate requires moisture to form its protective gel.
