NU-DERM™ Alginate
NU-DERM™ Alginate Dressing is a sterile, non woven pad consisting of high G (guluronic acid) alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fibre. Designed with gelling capabilities, it enables intact removal while providing high absorbency.
This soft non-woven alginate dressing absorbs excess fluid, and protects and covers the wound bed, helping to create a moist environment for chronic and superficial wounds. The dressing does not dissolve, facilitating intact removal.
NU-DERM™ Alginate Dressing was developed to manage moderate to heavily exuding chronic wounds and control minor bleeding in superficial acute wounds.
- Highly absorbent
- Helps maintain a moist wound healing environment
- Facilitates intact removal
- Minimizes the need for wound irrigation at dressing change, freeing up time
NU-DERM™ Alginate Wound Dressing is indicated for the management of moderate to heavily exuding chronic wounds and to control minor bleeding in superficial acute wounds.
Chronic wounds:
- Pressure ulcers
- Leg ulcers
- Venous stasis
- Diabetic ulcers and arterial ulcers
Superficial acute wounds:
- Abrasions
- Lacerations,
- Donor sites and postoperative wounds
NU-DERM™ Alginate Dressing is designed to absorb exudate while helping to maintain a moist wound healing environment.
The NU-DERM™ Alginate Dressing’s hydrophilic fiber forms a gel at the wound surface-generating this moist wound environment.
Overall, in vitro data shows, this highly absorbent dressing holds up to 18 times its own weight in fluid and maintains tensile strength, facilitating intact removal and minimizing the need for wound irrigation at dressing change.
As a result, the highly absorbent Alginate may help reduce the frequency of dressing changes1, freeing up precious clinician time.
