Usable on infected wounds under the care of a health care professional. KALTOSTAT® Alginate Dressing is an external wound dressing designed to absorb exudate and protect the wound from contamination. KALTOSTAT® Alginate Dressing is indicated as an external wound dressing for the local wound management of exuding cavity wounds such as pressure injuries, venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers, lacerations, post-surgical wounds and other external wounds inflicted by trauma. Contraindications This dressing is not indicated for dry wounds or third-degree burns and is not intended for use as a surgical swab. Warnings and Precautions Infection: All wounds can be expected to contain some microorganisms. If, however, true clinical infection (fever, tenderness or redness in the area of the wound) should develop, appropriate steps, as defined by the attending physician, should be taken to address such infection. Regular evaluation and cleansing of an infected wound should be common practice. Use of KALTOSTAT® Alginate Dressing may be continued, provided it is changed on a regular basis (at least daily while infection is present). K1000 K1001 K1002 K1003 K1004
