Which animals can use Algivon dressing?
Algivon is approved for use on cats, dogs, and horses.
-
What makes Algivon suitable for wetter wounds?
The alginate fibres allow a sustained, slower release of the Manuka honey, so it is not easily washed away by exudate and stays at the wound site longer.

Is the dressing conformable for wound cavities?
Yes. The dressing is very soft and conformable, making it ideal for use in wound cavities.
-
Does Algivon help with debriding and de-sloughing?
Yes. It is indicated for debriding and de-sloughing large areas of necrotic and sloughy tissue, as stated in the product description.
-
What size and pack format is available?
Each dressing is 10 cm x 10 cm and comes in a box containing 5 dressings.
-
Is this suitable for equine wound care?
Yes. Algivon is approved for horses and is well-suited to equine wound care needs, particularly wetter wounds.
-
Do I need a prescription to purchase Algivon?
No prescription requirement is stated in the product data. Consult your veterinarian or clinic policy if unsure.
