Product Info
Pharmapore® PU IV Algi: Transparent, breathable, virus proof, waterproof and bacteria proof polyurethane film dressing, having incision along the middle and haemostatic absorbent pad at the end of incision, located in central position (Pharma-Algi®).
- Highly absorbent:
Pharmapore® PU IV Algi is highly absorbent due to presence of superabsorbent powder (sodium alginate) and also by capillary rise in nonwoven fibres.
- Haemostat effect:
Due to calcium-sodium exchange, Calcium ions which are vital for the clotting process to be successful are released into the wound, which ensures bleeding is stopped.
- Conformable:
The dressing is very soft and conformable, so it conforms to wound contours, It also becomes softer and more intimate to the wound after gelling.
Also Pharmapore® PU IV Algi adhesive dressings are used to achieve haemostasis at the bleeding site after needle removal in the renal dialysis and for protection of orificium fistulae.
- Do not use on patients with a known allergy to alginates.
- Whilst Pharmapore® PU IV Algi assists in the management of wounds prone to minor bleeding, it is not intended to be used as a surgical sponge or to achieve haemostasis in heavily bleeding wounds.
Sodium alginate used in this product rapidly gels and forms a physiologically moist microenvironment that promotes healing and the formation of granulation tissue. Calcium present in this product, exchanges with sodium in the blood to further contribute to the gelling and absorption process. But more importantly calcium ions are donated to the wound; calcium is vital for the clotting process to be successful, which ensures bleeding is stopped.
