Algivon Plus - 100% Manuka Honey
Product Description
Algivon Plus is a soft alginate dressing impregnated with 100% medical grade Manuka honey. This Manuka honey dressing has reinforced alginate fibres enabling a sustained, slow release of honey whilst maintaining the integrity of the dressing. This creates a moist healing environment and effectively eliminates wound odour whilst providing antibacterial action.
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.
The dressing is very soft and conformable, ideal for debriding and de-sloughing large areas of sloughy tissue.
Available in two different sizes and with easy-release liners, Algivon Plus is designed for-ease-of-use and to effectively cover wounds of all sizes.
Instructions for Use
- 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.
Top tip: Algivon Plus has the capacity to absorb exudate so is ideal for use on wetter wounds.Indications
