Askina® Calgitrol Ag

Description

Askina® Calgitrol® Ag is a technologically advanced wound dressing
that incorporates the barrier effectiveness of ionic silver with the
absorbency capabilities of calcium alginate and polyurethane foam.
Indications

Askina® Calgitrol® Ag wound dressings are recommended for the
management of infected or non-infected, partial to full thickness
wounds, such as stage I-IV pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, second
degree burns or donor sites.

• Provides a moist wound environment conducive to natural healing
• Does not require the use of sterile distilled water to oxidize the metallic silver to the ionic state
• Easy application and removal, with no need for a secondary absorbent dressing
