Pharmapore^® IV Algi: Non woven dressing for skin sensitive people, having incision along the middle and haemostatic absorbent pad at the end of Incision, located in central position (Pharma-Algi^®). Indicated for cannula and catheter fixation on sensitive skin. Pharma-Algi^® is haemostatic absorbent primary wound pad, made of nonwoven absorbent fibers, coated with a blend of sodium alginate and calcium alginate powder. The wound contact layer is made of non-adherent nonwoven layer. Pharmapore^® IV Algi is sterile by ethylene oxide, biocompatible and complying with ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10 requirements.

• Highly absorbent:

Pharmapore^® IV Algi is highly absorbent due to presence of superabsorbent powder (sodium alginate) and also by capillary rise in nonwoven fibres.

• Haemostat effect:

Due to calcium-sodium exchange, Calcium ions which are vital for the clotting process to be successful are released into the wound, which ensures bleeding is stopped.

• Conformable:

The dressing is very soft and conformable, so it conforms to wound contours, It also becomes softer and more intimate to the wound after gelling.

Also Pharmapore^® IV Algi adhesive dressings are used to achieve haemostasis at the bleeding site after needle removal in the renal dialysis and for protection of orificium fistulae.

• Do not use on patients with a known allergy to alginates.
• Whilst Pharmapore^® IV Algi assists in the management of wounds prone to minor bleeding, it is not intended to be used as a surgical sponge or to achieve haemostasis in heavily bleeding wounds.
