CovaWound™Alginate

Indication of Use

CovaWoundTM Alginate dressing may be applied to moderate to heavily exuding wounds like partial thickness burns, donor sites, leg, pressure, arterial, diabetic and venous stasis ulcers, post-surgical incisions, trauma wounds and most other granulating wounds.
CovaWoundTM Alginate rope dressing may be applied to moderate to heavily exuding cavity wounds.
CovaWoundTM Alginate dressing may be used under compression.

The dressing displays both high absorbency and retention as demonstrated by the SMTL data shown below.2 These properties enable a prolonged wear time, where dressings may be left in place for up to 7 days, so reducing disruption for patients, whilst saving precious clinical time and resources.
SMTL data as shown below demonstrates a high tensile strength when wet, with a significantly higher wet force break point compared to leading market brands.2 This property enables traumatic one piece removal of the dressing minimising any risk of residual residues within the wound bed.
Exudate is absorbed vertically which is supported by the high absorbency to prevent maceration.
When in contact with serum or wound exudate, the calcium ions in the dressing are exchanged for sodium ions in the exudate to produce a highly absorbent, soft gelling dressing which maintains its integrity. The soft gel facilitates moist wound healing and desloughing, settling into the contours of the wound to minimise the dead spaces where exudate can pool and bacteria can grow.
CovaWoundTM Alginate displays natural haemostatic properties, controlling blood loss and helping to activate the platelet cascade thus allowing the wound to progress to the next stage of wound healing.
