Sorbsan
Creed Health

Sorbsan

Natural calcium alginate dressing constructed of loose fibers made from seaweed. Forming an amorphous gel when in contact with exudate, allows the dressing to maximise contact with the wound bed, reducing the risk of untreated gaps. Sorbsan fibres totally disperse upon irrigation minimising the potential for foreign body reaction.
Sorbsan Silver Flat
Creed Health

Sorbsan Silver Flat

A sterile, non-woven, calcium alginate dressing with silver. High in mannuronic acid and low in guluronic acid. The fibres swell and form a gel on contact with wound exudate, releasing ionic silver particles to reduce bioburden. Will promote haemostasis in bleeding wounds.
Sorbsan Wound Probe
Creed Health

Sorbsan Wound Probe

A sterile, plastic probe used for wound assessment. Single use only.
Spirit Alginate
Spirit Health

Spirit Alginate

Dressings to control minor bleeding, derived from the calcium salts of seaweed. The alginate fibres form a hydrophilic gel on contact with wound fluid to allow maximum contact with the wound bed. Alginates absorb exudate away from the wound while providing a moist wound environment conducive to healing. The range offers an alginate ribbon for narrow wounds or sinuses, alginate packing in the form a ‘rope’ for cavities and an alginate flat sheet for application to shallow wounds.
