Recently, the market of medical devices shows serious need for wound dressings for first aid and temporary traumatic wounds. Such a wound dressing should show primarily the hemostatic effect and antibacterial activity allowing protection against infection. Tromboguard® topical wound dressing is a three-layer dressing with active layer. It contains chitosan, sodium alginate/calcium alginate with addition of silver salt. The wound dressing provides protective performance as well as is characterized by the ability to immediately stop bleeding and antibacterial activity allowing protection against infection and occurrence of secondary infection without the need for or with limited participation of antibiotics. Tromboguard® topical wound dressing is a firs aid dressing designed for the uniform services (military and homeland) and rescue.
