How to use Kaltostat

  • Cut to the size of the wound so it does not overlap healthy skin.
  • Cover with a secondary dressing such as a foam or absorbent pad.
  • Remove with saline if it has dried out; it should come away as a gel.

FAQs

What is Kaltostat used for?

Moderate to heavily exuding wounds and wounds with minor bleeding, such as leg ulcers, pressure injuries, donor sites and post-procedure wounds.

Does Kaltostat need a secondary dressing?

Yes. Cover it with a foam, film or absorbent dressing to hold it in place and manage fluid.

Can Kaltostat be used on a dry wound?

No. Alginates need wound fluid to gel and can stick to dry wounds. Use a hydrogel or hydrocolloid instead.
