KALTOSTAT 168214 is an advanced calcium-sodium alginate wound dressing developed for effective management of moderate to highly exuding wounds. The dressing is designed to absorb excess wound fluid while maintaining a moist wound environment that supports the natural healing process.
When exposed to wound exudate, the alginate fibers gradually convert into a soft gel-like layer that conforms closely to the wound surface. This helps improve wound coverage, supports atraumatic dressing removal, and assists in maintaining tissue protection during dressing changes.
Its 10cm x 20cm format is suitable for larger wound areas requiring dependable fluid handling and gentle wound contact. The dressing is commonly used in chronic wound care, post-surgical wound management, and wounds where moisture balance is clinically important.
Shah Trading Corporation, Mumbai is a trusted supplier and distributor of ConvaTec wound care products like Kaltostat, Duoderm, Aquacel, Esenta and many more across India.

How Calcium-Sodium Alginate Dressings Work
Calcium-sodium alginate dressings work through interaction with wound exudate. As fluid enters the dressing:
The fibers absorb excess moisture. A soft gel structure forms over the wound be and the gel helps maintain moisture balance. Excess fluid becomes retained within the dressing and the wound surface remains protected from drying
This controlled moisture environment supports wound healing progression while helping reduce trauma during dressing removal.
Benefits of Calcium-Sodium Alginate Dressings

* Supports natural tissue regeneration and assists gentle dressing removal.
* It helps reduce wound bed dryness and conforms to difficult wound contours.
* It supports management of superficial bleeding and helps protect fragile granulation tissue.
