New product : Silver alginate wound dressing SEQUA™ sorb Ag

A wide range of non-antimicrobial wound dressings is being used for managing non-infected chronic wounds. They promote wound healing by generating and maintaining a moist environment. Alginate wound dressings are the best example that are used in the management of exudating wounds. Antimicrobials, such as silver are incorporated into the alginate wound dressing for treating at-risk or infected chronic wounds. Alginate wound dressings impregnated with silver have significant benefits in wound care. It ensures the bioavailability of silver at the wound site for a long period of time. This minimizes the nursing time, thus cutting down the healthcare cost. Alginate wound care also reduces the patient’s discomfort which is common during dressing change. Also, silver-containing alginate wound dressings are effective against a wide spectrum of microorganisms.

Silver alginate dressings are best for

Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial leg/foot ulcers.
Systemic infection, involving severe sepsis and multiple organ dysfunctions.
In cases of infected acute or chronic wounds obstructed from healing by microorganisms, a silver dressing reduces bioburden.
In cases of acute or chronic wounds at a high risk of infection or re-infection, a silver dressing acts as an antimicrobial barrier

Silver alginate dressing should not be used in the following cases

No symptoms of localized, spreading or systemic infection;
Surgical/small acute wounds at low risk of infection;
Chronic wounds healing as per comorbidities and age;
Patients sensitive to silver or any of the dressing components;
During pregnancy or lactation; and
When contraindicated by the manufacturer

Sequa®Sorb Ag silver alginate dressing is indicated for

• moderate to highly exuding chronic and acute wounds where there is an infection or an increased risk of infection ;
• Partial thickness (second degree) burns;
• Diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers/sores (partial & full thickness);
• Surgical wounds left to heal by secondary intention;
• Traumatic wounds;
• Wounds that are prone to bleeding, such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided.

Removal Of Medium Molecules Makes Dialysis Safer!

Health is the Foundation of Life

Technology, Benevolen, Reverence for every Life

The theme of the 16th World Kidney Disease day is “Living Well With Kidney Disease”. The purpose is to advocate that people should not only pay attention to the symptom reduction, but also actively participate in work and social activities, improve the quality of life and pursue wonderful life in the process of treatment and management of kidney diseases.The latest epidemiological data show that the incidence rate of chronic kidney disease in China is 10.8%. Chronic kidney disease is a life-long chronic disease, which has a serious impact on the health and quality of life of patients. Once patients with kidney disease develop to uremia, they need blood purification treatment to extend their life

Generally speaking, patients with severe kidney disease or those who have been treated with long-term dialysis need more effective treatment to reduce the concentration of medium and large molecules in the blood, among which ß 2-microglobulin is the representative of the medium molecular solute. Since the kidneys cannot effectively clear β2-microglobulin, the accumulation of β2-microglobulin in dialysis patients can cause dialysis-associated amyloidosis, which can lead to death in severe cases.

High-flux hemodialyzer has the characteristics of good biocompatibility, effective removal of medium and large molecules as well as excess water, and can provide ions needed by human body through dialysate to maintain the balance of electrolyte and acid-base in human body. It can clear β2-microglobulin more efficiently, significantly improve the quality of life of patients, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and reduce the occurrence of inflammation.

Precautions in the application of high-flux hemodialyzer:

1.Reverse ultrafiltration and pyrogenic reaction;

2. Effect on drug concentration.

How to choose a right dressing

Moisture wound healing theory

Moist wound healing is the practice of keeping a wound in an optimally moist environment in order to promote faster healing.

Favorable for the dissolution of necrotic tissue
A. Hydrate with exudate to release plasmin
B. Dissolve the fibrous sheath around small blood vessels and restore normal nutrient exchange
C. Immune cell chemokines, accelerate debridement

Hypoxic condition of maintaining local microenvironment of wound

Help cell proliferation, differentiation and migration
A. Maintain cell and enzyme activity
B. Rapid cell migration

Retention of growth factors in exudates and promotion of their release.
A. Stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts
B. Chemotactic agent for macrophages and neutrophils

Keep wound temperature close or same as human body temperature:37
A. The mitotic rate of cells increased by 108%.

Keep wound moist
B. No form scab and avoid twice machanical damage.
C. Avoid exposure of nerve endings to air and reduce pain

Lower infection rate
A. Occlusive dressing, block outside microbe.
B. Moist wound infection rate 2.6%
C. Dry wound infection rate 7.1%

The problem of saturated absorption or excessive stickiness of the dressing and staying on the wound:
• Wound Maceration
• Dressing leakage
• Damage surrounding skin

Wound bed preparation

“Complex” wounds

“Wound bed” preparation

Tissue management
Infection management
Exudate management
Edge of wound

“Wound bed” preparation complete

“Normal” wounds

How to choose a right dressing

Dressings should be selected based on the characteristics of the wound.

Wound type by Color of wound

Black wound: Necrotic tissue lacking blood supply, soft or hard, scabby, with little or no exudate.

Yellow wound: Carrion/Slough, exudate, or infection

Red wound: Granulomatous tissue with healthy blood flow, clean, healing

Pink wound:

pink epithelial tissues
The neoepithelial tissue is delicate and in the stage of skin climbing.

Alginate dressing and CMC dressings, which are useful for moderate to heavily exuding wounds, are primary dressings designed for use on wounds with moderate to heavy drainage.
A superabsorbent dressing can be a primary or secondary dressing which manages moderate to heavy wound exudate.
CMC dressing, foam dressing, transparent PU dressing are secondary dressings.
The longer wear time of these dressings minimizes the number of times the wound bed is disturbed which may improve healing outcomes.
Cost effectiveness should always be considered when selecting a dressing, however the least expensive dressing may not be the most cost effective. Longer wear time reduces clinician labor costs, a significant factor in overall wound care costs.
Dressing selection should be based on the needs of the wound to obtain the best outcomes for healing.
