These Class IIa\/IIb medical devices under EU MDR 2017\/745 are indicated for moderate to heavily exuding wounds with critical colonisation or established biofilm, and are available for clinical procurement in Singapore through EMIS from manufacturers including ConvaTec, Molnlycke, B.

On contact with wound exudate, the dressing undergoes ion exchange — sodium ions from wound fluid displace calcium ions in the alginate structure, forming a soft, cohesive gel that maintains a moist wound environment, facilitates autolytic debridement, and is atraumatic on removal. When combined with ionic silver, the dressing delivers sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against both planktonic bacteria and established wound biofilms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as demonstrated in published clinical studies (PMID: 33708355; PMID: 33706447).

Indicated for acute and chronic wounds requiring autolytic debridement, infected or colonised wound beds, diabetic foot ulcers, sloughy wounds, and burn wounds; supplied sterile in a box of 10 dressings (5 cm x 6 cm each), classified minimum Class B under Singapore HSA GN-13 guidance, with CE marking to EU MDR 2017\/745 standards.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrincipelle IF Medical Grade Honey Wound Care Formulation is a bioactive wound contact layer combining the antimicrobial and wound-healing properties of medical-grade dark buckwheat honey with trace elements and mineral oxides on an acetate carrier substrate. Medical-grade honey exerts antimicrobial effect through at least four concurrent mechanisms: glucose oxidase catalyses continuous low-level hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation upon contact with wound exudate; high osmolarity (approximately 80% sugar by weight) creates an osmotic gradient that draws fluid from the wound bed and desiccates bacteria; acidic pH (approximately 3.2–4.5) creates a hostile environment for bacterial metabolism; and phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and organic acids contribute direct antimicrobial activity independent of H2O2, providing efficacy even where wound catalase enzyme may neutralise peroxide activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedical-grade honey wound dressings are distinguished from food-grade honey by mandatory gamma irradiation sterilisation, validated to ISO 11137 (Sterilization of Health Care Products — Radiation), which eliminates Clostridium spores at 25 kGy without significantly reducing antibacterial potency. In vitro evidence demonstrates broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Anti-biofilm activity has been demonstrated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms, disrupting biofilm architecture through multiple simultaneous pathway pressure — a key clinical advantage in chronic wounds where biofilm is a primary barrier to healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrincipelle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoney Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark buckwheat honey with trace elements and mineral oxides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile acetate mesh impregnated with honey-mineral ointment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 cm x 6 cm per dressing; box of 10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSterility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile; gamma-irradiated per ISO 11137\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory — EU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE Mark; EU MDR 2017\/745; Class IIa or IIb bioactive wound dressing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory — Singapore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHSA medical device registration; minimum Class B under GN-13 Guidance; Health Products Act Cap. 122D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBiocompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISO 10993 series: ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity, ISO 10993-23 irritation testing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWear Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 7 days (low exudate); every 1–3 days (moderate-to-high exudate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuality System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISO 13485 medical device quality management\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfected and critically colonised wounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity including MRSA, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and VRE; indicated per WUWHS biofilm-based wound care recommendations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChronic wound autolytic debridement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Osmotic gradient and enzymatic activity facilitate autolytic debridement of sloughy or necrotic tissue — venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries Stage 2–4, non-healing surgical wounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiabetic foot ulcers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-mechanism antimicrobial activity addresses high biofilm burden; used within multidisciplinary diabetic foot team protocols per Singapore MOH clinical practice guidelines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurn wound management:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist wound healing with anti-inflammatory properties supports re-epithelialisation in partial-thickness burns; atraumatic acetate substrate removal via saline moistening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-surgical dehisced wounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antimicrobial environment without the cytotoxic profile of iodine- or silver-based dressings at equivalent change frequencies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalodorous chronic wounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-mechanism antimicrobial activity reduces bacterial load responsible for wound malodour, improving patient quality of life in community wound care settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What distinguishes medical-grade from food-grade honey in wound care?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Medical-grade honey must be gamma-irradiated to sterility validated per ISO 11137, eliminating Clostridium botulinum spore risk in open wounds — not addressed by food-grade honey. Medical-grade honey is sourced from specific botanical origins selected for documented antibacterial potency, subject to batch-specific potency testing and ISO 13485 quality management. Food-grade honey carries infection risk and inconsistent antimicrobial potency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why does exudate increase after initial application?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The osmotic effect of medical-grade honey typically increases exudate volume in the first 24–48 hours as fluid is drawn from surrounding tissues. This is expected physiology, not deterioration. Clinicians should apply an appropriately absorbent secondary dressing (foam or alginate pad) and advise carers accordingly. Exudate management should be reassessed at the first dressing change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is antimicrobial resistance to honey a clinical concern?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Unlike antibiotics targeting specific metabolic pathways, medical-grade honey operates through multiple simultaneous mechanisms (osmosis, pH, hydrogen peroxide, phenolic compounds). No clinically significant emergence of honey resistance has been documented in published literature, supporting its use in multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is Principelle IF registered and supplied in Singapore?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Advanced wound dressings with bioactive antimicrobial properties are classified under the Singapore Health Products Act (Cap. 122D) as medical devices requiring HSA registration (minimum Class B, potentially Class C under GN-13 guidance).

Upon contact with wound exudate, calcium ions exchange with sodium ions, transforming the dry fibrous dressing into a firm, moist gel that absorbs up to 20 times its own weight in fluid while maintaining a controlled moist wound environment. It is indicated for moderate to heavily exuding acute and chronic wounds including pressure injuries, venous ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, and post-debridement wounds.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKALTOSTAT is an established calcium sodium alginate wound dressing developed by ConvaTec for the primary management of moderate to heavily exuding wounds. The dressing is manufactured from naturally derived alginate fibres — a polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed (Laminaria hyperborea) — processed into a soft, conformable non-woven sheet. The unique fibre composition of 80% calcium alginate and 20% sodium alginate delivers a controlled ion-exchange mechanism: as wound exudate contacts the dressing, sodium ions in the exudate displace calcium ions within the alginate matrix, converting the dry fibres into a firm, coherent gel that intimately conforms to the wound bed topography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high guluronic acid content of the alginate polymer chain is responsible for the firm gel character, which maintains structural integrity during wear and facilitates clean, atraumatic removal without leaving fibre residue in the wound bed. KALTOSTAT absorbs up to 20 times its own weight in wound fluid, creating an optimal moist wound environment that supports autolytic debridement and granulation tissue formation in accordance with the principles of moist wound healing established by Winter (1962) and endorsed by contemporary wound management guidelines (EWMA, WOCN Society). The dressing also contributes to haemostasis through calcium ion release, making it suitable for minor bleeding wounds and post-surgical donor sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConvaTec Ltd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKALTOSTAT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREF \/ Catalogue Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e168212\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDressing Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 cm x 12 cm (3 in x 4.75 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRectangular, flat non-woven sheet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80% calcium alginate, 20% sodium alginate (high guluronic acid content)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorption Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 20x its own weight in wound exudate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGel Character\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirm, coherent gel — maintains structural integrity for clean removal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHaemostatic Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — calcium ion release promotes haemostasis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Dressing Required\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — requires an appropriate secondary dressing (film, foam, or tape)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Wear Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 7 days (or as clinically indicated based on exudate level)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSterility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile, single use (gamma irradiated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE marked (EU MDR 2017\/745 Class IIb), FDA 510(k) cleared, ISO 13485 certified manufacturing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBox of 10, individually sterile-packaged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Indications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure injuries (Category\/Stage II through IV) with moderate to heavy exudate, as classified under NPUAP\/EPUAP\/PPPIA international staging guidelines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers requiring high-capacity exudate absorption and moist wound bed maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiabetic foot ulcers managed within multidisciplinary diabetic foot care pathways (IWGDF guidelines)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurgical wound donor sites where haemostatic properties and conformable wound coverage are required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperficial and partial-thickness burn wounds requiring absorbent primary dressings with atraumatic removal characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-debridement wound management where wound bed preparation and exudate control are clinical priorities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the calcium-sodium ion exchange mechanism work in KALTOSTAT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen wound exudate contacts the KALTOSTAT dressing, sodium ions present in the exudate displace calcium ions bound within the alginate fibre matrix. This ion exchange causes the dry alginate fibres to swell and form a hydrophilic gel that conforms to the wound surface. The released calcium ions contribute to local haemostasis by activating the clotting cascade. The high guluronic acid content of the alginate polymer ensures that the resulting gel is firm and coherent rather than amorphous, facilitating intact removal at dressing change without fibre residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes KALTOSTAT require a secondary dressing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. KALTOSTAT is a primary wound contact dressing and must be covered with an appropriate secondary dressing to maintain position, control moisture vapour transmission, and provide bacterial barrier protection. Common secondary dressing choices include adhesive foam dressings (e.g., AQUACEL Foam), polyurethane film dressings, or retention tape, depending on wound location and exudate volume. The secondary dressing selection should be guided by institutional wound care protocols and the individual patient assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between KALTOSTAT and silver-containing alginate dressings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard KALTOSTAT does not contain antimicrobial agents. For wounds with confirmed or suspected critical colonisation or infection, clinicians should consider silver-containing alginate alternatives that provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity alongside the exudate absorption properties of alginate. All antimicrobial dressing selections should align with local antimicrobial stewardship guidelines and be based on wound culture and sensitivity results where available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long can KALTOSTAT remain on the wound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKALTOSTAT may be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on exudate volume and wound assessment findings. In heavily exuding wounds, more frequent dressing changes (every 1 to 3 days) may be necessary. The dressing should be changed when the gel has reached saturation or when clinical reassessment of the wound is indicated. The European Wound Management Association (EWMA) recommends individualised dressing change schedules based on wound assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Singapore healthcare facilities purchase KALTOSTAT through EMIS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
