<p>The key performance attributes of ActivHeal® Alginate dressings are it’s high absorbency and high wet strength. The charts below demonstrates it’s performance. When ActivHeal® Alginate dressings are applied to an exuding wound the sodium salts present in exudate exchange with calcium in the alginate to form a hydrophilic gel. The high wet strength of ActivHeal® Alginate ensures the dressing remains integral on removal. Alginate fibres are biodegradable1 therefore any residual fibres that remain after a dressing change pose no risk to patient safety. ActivHeal® Alginate fibres are naturally haemostatic. Following absorption of wound exudate the alginate dressing releases calcium ions into the wound which can activate platelets to control minor bleeding2.</p><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_16  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light" style="margin: 0px 0px 16.0781px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: 50% center; background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; position: relative; animation-timing-function: linear; animation-duration: 0.2s; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="et_pb_text_inner" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; position: relative;"><div class="et_pb_text_inner" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; position: relative;"><div class="et_pb_text_inner" style="color: rgb(0, 46, 95); font-family: acumin-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; position: relative;">ActivHeal® Alginate is indicated for moderately to heavily exuding wounds that are granulating or with areas of slough4:</div><ul style=""><li style=""><font color="#002e5f" face="acumin-pro, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Pressure ulcers</span></font></li><li style=""><font color="#002e5f" face="acumin-pro, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Venous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers</span></font></li><li style=""><font color="#002e5f" face="acumin-pro, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Diabetic ulcers</span></font></li><li style=""><font color="#002e5f" face="acumin-pro, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Cavity wounds</span></font></li><li style=""><font color="#002e5f" face="acumin-pro, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Graft wounds and Donor sites</span></font></li><li style=""><font color="#002e5f" face="acumin-pro, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Post operative surgical wounds</span></font></li><li style=""><font color="#002e5f" face="acumin-pro, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Superficial and partial thickness burns</span></font></li><li style=""><font color="#002e5f" face="acumin-pro, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">To control minor bleeding</span></font></li></ul></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 46, 95); font-family: acumin-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div></div></div><div><br></div>
