B. Braun Askina Calgitrol Paste 15g
Askina Calgitrol Paste from B. Braun is a calcium alginate–based wound paste formulated to manage bleeding and moderate to highly exuding wounds. Supplied in a convenient 15 g tube, this wound paste helps create a moist wound environment, supports gentle haemostasis and aids wound bed preparation for optimal healing in surgical, post‑operative and chronic wound care settings.
Key Benefits
- Calcium alginate formulation absorbs exudate and forms a soft gel to maintain a moist wound environment.
- Supports gentle haemostasis for minor bleeding and oozing wounds.
- Conforms to cavity wounds, donor sites and irregular surfaces for effective contact.
- Easy to apply from a 15 g tube — economical for targeted wound cavities and small surgical sites.
- Compatible with standard secondary dressings for flexible treatment plans.
Ingredients and Materials
Askina Calgitrol Paste is a calcium alginate–based paste designed for wound contact. The primary functional component is calcium alginate, which interacts with wound exudate to form a biocompatible gel. The product is supplied in a 15 g tube designed for clinical and professional use. For a full list of excipients and sterile status, consult the B. Braun product leaflet or manufacturer documentation.
How to Use
- Assess the wound and perform aseptic cleansing and debridement as required.
- Ensure the wound bed is ready for topical paste application. Dry the surrounding skin if needed.
- Apply a thin, even layer of Askina Calgitrol Paste directly into the wound cavity or over the wound surface — avoid overpacking.
- Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing (foam, gauze or film) to secure and manage exudate.
- Replace dressing according to clinical assessment — commonly every 24–72 hours or sooner if saturated. Follow local protocols or clinician guidance.
Always follow institutional guidelines and the treating clinician’s instructions. Not intended for use without clinical oversight in complex or arterial bleeding scenarios.
Who It’s For
Askina Calgitrol Paste is intended for healthcare professionals and wound care clinicians managing:
- Surgical and post‑operative wounds with minor bleeding or oozing
- Cavity wounds and sinus tracts where conformable contact is needed
- Donor sites and partial‑thickness wounds
- Chronic exuding wounds where alginate gel formation supports moisture balance
Suitable for use in hospitals, clinics and community wound care settings under professional supervision.
