Askina Calgitrol Paste - BBraun

Askina® Calgitrol® Paste is a sterile primary wound dressing formulated as an ionic silver alginate matrix in a convenient paste form. It is specifically designed for the management of chronic wounds that are either infected or at high risk of infection, providing effective antimicrobial protection while supporting the wound healing environment.

The paste formulation contains a high water content, which enables the immediate availability of silver ions upon application. This allows for rapid antimicrobial action at the wound surface. In addition, an ongoing ionic exchange occurs between the dressing and wound exudate, ensuring a sustained and controlled release of silver ions into the wound bed over time. This dual-action mechanism helps maintain a balanced antimicrobial effect throughout the wear period, supporting improved wound management outcomes.

Askina® Calgitrol® Paste is supplied sterile in a 15 g tube for safe and convenient clinical use. The tube is fitted with a precision cannula, allowing accurate and targeted application of the paste into challenging wound areas such as tunnels, sinuses, and other deep or complex wound structures. This ensures thorough coverage even in hard-to-reach sites.

Ideal for use in advanced wound care settings, Askina® Calgitrol® Paste combines ease of application with sustained antimicrobial activity, making it a valuable option for clinicians managing complex, exuding, or infected wounds requiring reliable silver-based therapy.
