Upon contact with wound exudate, calcium ions exchange with sodium ions, transforming the dry fibrous dressing into a firm, moist gel that absorbs up to 20 times its own weight in fluid while maintaining a controlled moist wound environment. It is indicated for moderate to heavily exuding acute and chronic wounds including pressure injuries, venous ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, and post-debridement wounds.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKALTOSTAT is an established calcium sodium alginate wound dressing developed by ConvaTec for the primary management of moderate to heavily exuding wounds. The dressing is manufactured from naturally derived alginate fibres — a polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed (Laminaria hyperborea) — processed into a soft, conformable non-woven sheet. The unique fibre composition of 80% calcium alginate and 20% sodium alginate delivers a controlled ion-exchange mechanism: as wound exudate contacts the dressing, sodium ions in the exudate displace calcium ions within the alginate matrix, converting the dry fibres into a firm, coherent gel that intimately conforms to the wound bed topography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high guluronic acid content of the alginate polymer chain is responsible for the firm gel character, which maintains structural integrity during wear and facilitates clean, atraumatic removal without leaving fibre residue in the wound bed. KALTOSTAT absorbs up to 20 times its own weight in wound fluid, creating an optimal moist wound environment that supports autolytic debridement and granulation tissue formation in accordance with the principles of moist wound healing established by Winter (1962) and endorsed by contemporary wound management guidelines (EWMA, WOCN Society). The dressing also contributes to haemostasis through calcium ion release, making it suitable for minor bleeding wounds and post-surgical donor sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConvaTec Ltd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKALTOSTAT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREF \/ Catalogue Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e168212\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDressing Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 cm x 12 cm (3 in x 4.75 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRectangular, flat non-woven sheet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80% calcium alginate, 20% sodium alginate (high guluronic acid content)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorption Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 20x its own weight in wound exudate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGel Character\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirm, coherent gel — maintains structural integrity for clean removal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHaemostatic Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — calcium ion release promotes haemostasis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Dressing Required\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — requires an appropriate secondary dressing (film, foam, or tape)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Wear Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 7 days (or as clinically indicated based on exudate level)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSterility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile, single use (gamma irradiated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE marked (EU MDR 2017\/745 Class IIb), FDA 510(k) cleared, ISO 13485 certified manufacturing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBox of 10, individually sterile-packaged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Indications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure injuries (Category\/Stage II through IV) with moderate to heavy exudate, as classified under NPUAP\/EPUAP\/PPPIA international staging guidelines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers requiring high-capacity exudate absorption and moist wound bed maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiabetic foot ulcers managed within multidisciplinary diabetic foot care pathways (IWGDF guidelines)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurgical wound donor sites where haemostatic properties and conformable wound coverage are required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperficial and partial-thickness burn wounds requiring absorbent primary dressings with atraumatic removal characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-debridement wound management where wound bed preparation and exudate control are clinical priorities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the calcium-sodium ion exchange mechanism work in KALTOSTAT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen wound exudate contacts the KALTOSTAT dressing, sodium ions present in the exudate displace calcium ions bound within the alginate fibre matrix. This ion exchange causes the dry alginate fibres to swell and form a hydrophilic gel that conforms to the wound surface. The released calcium ions contribute to local haemostasis by activating the clotting cascade. The high guluronic acid content of the alginate polymer ensures that the resulting gel is firm and coherent rather than amorphous, facilitating intact removal at dressing change without fibre residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes KALTOSTAT require a secondary dressing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. KALTOSTAT is a primary wound contact dressing and must be covered with an appropriate secondary dressing to maintain position, control moisture vapour transmission, and provide bacterial barrier protection. Common secondary dressing choices include adhesive foam dressings (e.g., AQUACEL Foam), polyurethane film dressings, or retention tape, depending on wound location and exudate volume. The secondary dressing selection should be guided by institutional wound care protocols and the individual patient assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between KALTOSTAT and silver-containing alginate dressings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard KALTOSTAT does not contain antimicrobial agents. For wounds with confirmed or suspected critical colonisation or infection, clinicians should consider silver-containing alginate alternatives that provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity alongside the exudate absorption properties of alginate. All antimicrobial dressing selections should align with local antimicrobial stewardship guidelines and be based on wound culture and sensitivity results where available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long can KALTOSTAT remain on the wound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKALTOSTAT may be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on exudate volume and wound assessment findings. In heavily exuding wounds, more frequent dressing changes (every 1 to 3 days) may be necessary. The dressing should be changed when the gel has reached saturation or when clinical reassessment of the wound is indicated. The European Wound Management Association (EWMA) recommends individualised dressing change schedules based on wound assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Singapore healthcare facilities purchase KALTOSTAT through EMIS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
