Algoplaque Film is an extra-thin sterile hydrocolloid dressing that provides a moist environment, is water-resistant and antibacterial, semipermeable and transparent for better wound control. The inner layer is made up of fine hydrocolloid particles embedded in an elastomer network. The outer layer, impermeable to water and bacteria, is a semipermeable polyurethane backing.

Indications:

Algoplaque Film is indicated for the local care of acute, shallow, exudative superficial wounds (dermabrasions, traumatic wounds), chronic wounds in the epithelialisation phase and sutured surgical wounds.

Contraindications:It should not be used when the wound shows signs of infection or in cases where the periwound skin is fragile or damaged.

Benefits:

Healing in a moist environment, absorption and drainage of exudate, atraumatic removal, doing it tangentially, stretching the dressing parallel to the wound. Permeable to air and impermeable to water and bacteria. Good management of exudate, easy placement on the wound, good adherence, preventing it from coming loose due to friction or incontinence, very adaptable, can be used in difficult areas such as the hip or heel, does not need a secondary dressing, allows showering. The wound is easy to control because it is transparent.

Action:Upon contact with the wound, Algoplaques hydrocolloid particles progressively absorb exudates, increasing in size to form a soft, moist gel that is conducive to the healing process in terms of hydration, temperature and pH. This non-adherent gel prevents scar tissue from being damaged during dressing changes.
