About Altrazeal® (Transforming Powder Dressing™)
Altrazeal® is a patented, amorphous dressing comprising primarily of methacrylate-based polymers similar to those used in contact lenses. Upon hydration, its granules aggregate to form a moist, oxygen permeable matrix that conforms to the wound bed. The matrix protects the wound from exogenous bacteria while allowing excess exudate to flow through it via vapor transpiration to create an optimal environment for wound healing. As the wound heals, the Altrazeal® matrix dries and flakes off.
Altrazeal® enables extended wear time of up to 30 days, allowing the wound to heal without disturbing the wound bed with frequent dressing changes. It is particularly effective in the management of complex, painful, and difficult-to-dress wounds where recurrent dressing changes can aggravate pain and increase wound exposure to contamination.
