Algivon Plus Ribbon 2.5 x 20cm Honey Alginate Tamponade

Algivon Plus Ribbon - 100% Manuka Honey

Algivon Plus Ribbon is a wound dressing impregnated with 100% medical-grade Manuka honey, processed as a ribbon packing.

It ensures a moist wound environment and effectively eliminates wound odors, because
the alginate fibers allow for a slow and continuous release of honey, maintaining the integrity of the wound dressing.

Algivon Plus Ribbon is optimally suited for moist wounds, as the alginate has a limited absorption capacity and the honey is not washed away with the wound exudate; as a result, the honey remains in the wound longer and can exert its healing effect.

The tamponade is very soft and malleable and can therefore be easily inserted into wound cavities and deep wounds, and thanks to the stable matrix, can also be removed in one piece.

Instructions for use:

• Clean the wound thoroughly.
• Dry the surrounding tissue.
• Ensure that the sterile dressing is unopened and intact before use.
• Place the tamponade into a wound cavity or deep wound.
• If necessary, the tamponade can be cut to size with sharp scissors.
• Cover the wound with a suitable secondary dressing. Depending on the level of exudation, this could be an Advazorb foam or an Eclypse superabsorbent dressing.
• Store Algivon Plus Ribbon at room temperature.

Dressing change:
Depending on the clinical findings, the tamponade can remain in the wound for up to 7 days. Due to the nature of honey, the dressing may become firmer in cold temperatures and softer in warmer temperatures. If the product is very firm, warm it between your hands before use to soften it. If the product has become too soft, place it in a colder location for a few minutes, e.g., in the refrigerator.

Indications:
Algivon Plus Ribbon can be used for many wounds, but especially for the following:

• Wounds with cavities
• Pressure ulcers
• Venous and arterial wounds
• Surgical wounds
• Skin graft donor sites
• Infected wounds
