Coloplast Biatain® Alginate Dressing 4" x 4" - Box of 10

🔷 Product Overview

The Coloplast Biatain® Alginate Dressing 4" x 4" (10 x 10 cm) is a highly absorbent alginate dressing designed for the management of moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Its flexible and conformable design allows it to be cut and shaped to fit a variety of wound sizes, depths, and contours, making it particularly suitable for cavity wounds and complex wound care applications.

When exposed to wound exudate, Biatain® Alginate transforms into a soft, cohesive gel that closely conforms to the wound bed while effectively locking fluid within the dressing. This helps maintain a moist wound healing environment, supports effective exudate management, and helps reduce the risk of leakage and maceration.

Made from a blend of alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), the dressing offers excellent structural integrity for one-piece removal with minimal pain and trauma. It also has a documented hemostatic effect that may assist with the control of minor bleeding in superficial wounds. Compatible with compression therapy when clinically appropriate, Biatain® Alginate is suitable for a wide range of wound care applications.
