Alginate & Chitosan Wound Dressings

PSP Advanced Wound Dressings include Alginate and Chitosan-based dressings designed for effective wound management and rapid healing. These dressings provide high absorbency, promote a moist wound environment, and support natural tissue regeneration.

Manufactured from biocompatible natural polymers, PSP wound dressings help manage exudate, reduce infection risk, and improve patient comfort.

They are suitable for use in hospitals, surgical centers, emergency care, and outpatient wound management.

Dressing Types Available

Surgical Haemostats

PSP Surgical Haemostats are absorbable topical hemostatic agents designed to control bleeding during surgical procedures. These products help achieve rapid hemostasis by promoting clot formation at the bleeding site.

PSP haemostatic materials are biocompatible, absorbable, and easy to handle, allowing surgeons to manage capillary, venous, and small arterial bleeding effectively during surgical procedures.

The product range includes Gelatin Foam haemostats and Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (ORC) haemostats, widely used in hospitals and surgical centers worldwide.

Types of Haemostats

Gelatin Foam Haemostat

Gelatin foam haemostats are absorbable porous sponge materials derived from purified gelatin. They rapidly absorb blood and provide a physical matrix that supports clot formation.

Key Features

• Highly porous absorbent sponge structure
• Promotes rapid clot formation
• Conforms easily to wound surfaces
• Soft and compressible material
• Absorbable within the body over time
• Easy to cut and shape during surgery

Typical Surgical Uses

Gelatin foams are commonly used for:

• General surgery
• Orthopedic surgery
• Dental surgery
• Neurosurgery
• Plastic surgery
• Trauma procedures

Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (ORC)

ORC haemostats are woven cellulose-based materials chemically treated to enhance hemostatic activity. They form a gel-like mass when in contact with blood and help promote clot formation.

Key Features

• Rapid hemostatic action
• Absorbable cellulose material
• Bacteriostatic properties
• Flexible and conformable fabric
• Helps maintain stable clot formation
• Gradually absorbed by body tissues

Typical Surgical Uses

ORC haemostats are widely used in:

• Cardiovascular surgery
• General surgery
• Gynecological procedures
• Liver surgery
• Dental surgery
• Laparoscopic procedures

Key Benefits of PSP Haemostats

• Rapid control of surgical bleeding
• Easy handling and placement
• Conformable to irregular wound surfaces
• Biocompatible absorbable materials
• Sterile ready-to-use packaging
• Reduces need for surgical ligatures or cautery
• Supports safe and effective surgical hemostasis
