Description LUOFUCON® PHMB Alginate Dressing is a sterile, single-use dressing consisting of calcium alginate fiber impregnated with polyhexamethylene biguanide, and the maximum polyhexamethylene biguanide content is 0.8% w/w. LUOFUCON® PHMB Alginate Dressing is used to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds. As wound exudate is absorbed, the alginate forms a gel, which provide a moist wound healing environment, and allows intact removal. Based on in vitro performance data, LUOFUCON® PHMB Alginate Dressing has broad spectrum antibacterial effects, and the polyhexamethylene biguanide group prevents colonization and proliferation of bacteria within the dressing for up to seven days.
Indications LUOFUCON® PHMB Alginate Dressing is indicated for the management of moderate to heavily exuding partial to full thickness wounds, including postoperative wounds, trauma wounds, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, graft and donor sites.
