A very large number of patients undergo anticoagulant therapy following dialysis. Because of these high numbers, Emodial decided to find a solution that could speed up post dialysis haemostasis. The use of calcium alginate in our dressings has led to improvements and faster post-dialysis haemostasis, providing significant benefits for patients, but also for healthcare professionals. Discover the benefits of calcium alginate dressings READ MORE...

For those doing peritoneal dialysis, it is very important that the exit site heals properly because it provides greater resistance against local vascular access infections. Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of advanced dressings containing silver ions, their antibacterial and almost physiological function that helps heal the exit-site in the post-operative period. Find out about exit-site healing results obtained using EXIT-PAD®AG with silver ions. READ MORE...

The first choice of vascular access for haemodialysis patients is usually an arteriovenous fistula. When an AVF access is difficult to implement or there are contraindications, the most common alternative is a central venous catheter. This however, poses a greater risk of infection for the patient and a relative increase in hospital costs. The best way to reduce the risk of infection is, without doubt, to develop a series of prevention measures that involve both patients and healthcare professionals. Another ally in the prevention of infections are CVC dressings that release silver ions, such as EXIT-PAD®AG, which when applied to the CVC insertion...

Preventing catheter site infections is essential for proper peritoneal dialysis maintenance. These infections can have serious consequences for the patient such as peritonitis, loss of the catheter and drop-out from this dialysis method. In addition to proper catheter management, which is the basic approach for preventing infections, numerous experiences have been reported in literature that use advanced dressings with silver ions that aim to stabilize the exit-site through "continuous" disinfection, in order to reduce the incidence of catheter site infections and improve management of patients on dialysis. See all the results related to the study on infection prevention using silver ions. READ MORE...
