Algivon is a soft alginate dressing impregnated with 100% medical grade Manuka honey. The alginate fibres enable a sustained, slower release of honey. Algivon 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 cavities and debriding and de-sloughing large areas of necrotic and sloughy tissue

Features: Manuka honey brings the following properties:

• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-bacterial – kills harmful bacteria
• Dressing is very soft and conformable
• Eliminates odours without masking them
• Maintains the ideal moist wound healing environment
• Osmotic effect, drawing harmful tissue away from the wound bed
• Ideal for cavities and debriding and de-sloughing large areas of necrotic and sloughy tissue
• Algivon may be applied to any wound but especially: pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, burns, graft sites, infected wounds, cavity wounds and sinuses.
