Algivon Plus Manuka Honey Alginate Dressing 5cm x 5cm
Algivon Plus is a soft alginate wound dressing impregnated with 100% medical grade Manuka honey. Reinforced alginate fibres enable a sustained, slow release of honey, maintaining dressing integrity while creating a moist healing environment. It effectively eliminates wound odour and delivers continuous antibacterial action.
Key Benefits
- Sustained, slow release of medical grade Manuka honey directly to the wound site
- Moist healing environment promotes natural tissue repair
- Alginate fibres absorb exudate, keeping honey in contact with the wound even in wetter wounds
- Non-adherent — easy and painless removal at dressing change
- Soft and conformable — ideal for debriding and de-sloughing large areas of sloughy tissue
- Can be cut to size or placed side-by-side to cover large wound areas
Indications
Suitable for use on any wound, particularly:
- Pressure ulcers
- Leg ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers
- Surgical wounds
- Burns and graft sites
- Infected wounds
Instructions for Use
- Clean the wound thoroughly
- Gently dry the surrounding skin
- Remove dressing from packaging
- Place either side down onto the wound surface
- Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing
- Store at room temperature
Frequency of Change
Depending on exudate levels, the dressing may be changed daily or left in place for up to 7 days. Change when the dressing colour changes significantly, indicating honey dilution. Algivon Plus is particularly suited to wetter wounds due to its exudate-absorbing capacity.
Contra-indications
- Do not use if allergic to bee venom
- Monitor blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes (honey is not absorbed into the bloodstream)
- Initial discomfort may occur — if it persists, discontinue use and irrigate with saline solution
