Our Alginate baseplates contain 15% Alginate to offer superior skin protection. These products have both preventative and curative properties for peristomal skin.
Alginate is a naturally occurring, bioactive hydrocolloid obtained from brown seaweed. Mixed with water, it creates an elastic gel that accurately adapts to any surface conditions. As a natural resource, alginate is completely harmless to health and has therefore been used in wound care for many years.
Our alginate skin protection contains 15% natural alginate. It can absorb up to 20 times of its own weight in liquid and is therefore ideal to enhance wound healing.
There are many features of our Alginate product range:
Alginate absorbs excess moisture to create an optimal healing environment for sore skin.
Alginates are hydrophilic – they absorb and lock away moisture. This ensures a dry and comfortable experience throughout the day.
Our Alginate products are designed to fit the shape of your body to increase comfortable wear time.
Get the most out of your Alginate pouch by waking up the adhesive strength with warming up the baseplate.
The unique characteristics of this range unite to create lightness and comfort whilst wearing.
Trigger warning: Please be aware, our case studies are real stories so contain sensitive images.
