Description

Algivon Plus Dressing

Algivon Plus is a soft alginate dressing impregnated with 100% medical grade Manuka honey. The reinforced alginate fibres enable a sustained, slow release of honey whilst maintaining the integrity of the dressing to create a moist healing environment and effectively eliminate wound odour whilst providing antibacterial action.

Algivon Plus may be applied to any wound, but particularly pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, burns, graft sites and infected wounds.

Algivon Plus is an ideal choice for wetter wounds as the alginate has a small capacity to absorb, meaning the honey isn't washed away with exudate therefore staying at the wound site for longer.

Directions

  • Ensure the wound has been cleaned
  • Gently dry the surrounding skin
  • Remove from packaging
  • Place (either side down) onto the wound surface
  • Dressings can be placed side-by-side to cover large wound areas, or cut to size for smaller areas.
  • Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing.
  • Store at room temperature

Frequency of change

Depending on clinical observation, dressing may be left in place for up to 7 days. Algivon Plus will be less effective as the honey is diluted by wound exudates, to maintain an effective level change the dressing when the colour changes significantly.

Due to the nature of honey, it can solidify at cold temperatures and become more malleable at warmer temperatures. If the product has hardened, warm between hands to soften before use. If the product has become too soft, place in a colder place such as a fridge for a few minutes.

Cautions

Do not use if patient has a known allergy to bee-venom/honey.
