Areza Antibacterial Alginate with Silver is made of natural alginate fibers derived from seaweed through a series of special processes. Designed to be highly absorbent, the dressing rapidly absorbs exudates and forms a gel-like covering over the wound, maintaining a moist environment ideal for wound healing. The gel-like surface also keeps the dressing from adhering to the wound, so it is a painless removal.Areza Antibacterial Alginate with Silver can restrain the bacteria growing and reduce further bacterial infection. It has been tested in vitro and found to be effective against bacteria such as: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonsa aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae.
A wound covering, typically made of a hydrocolloid, hydrofibre, chitosan or alginate (salts and acids extracted from seaweed), intended to produce a water-absorbent gel upon contact with wound exudate, and that contains an antimicrobial agent [e.g., silver (Ag), honey]. It assists in wound healing by absorbing exudate in wounds (e.g., ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, lacerations, abrasions) for minimal wound maceration, allowing wound debridement, and creating a moist wound-healing environment while reducing microbial colonization within the dressing. The device may be in the form of a flat sheet/film, ribbon, rope, foam, liquid, or powder. After application, this device cannot be reused.
