What Is ALTRAZEAL?
ALTRAZEAL Transforming Powder Dressing is a revolutionary wound treatment technology that utilizes proprietary nanoflex™ technology to promote the healing of exuding wounds. ALTRAZEAL powder particles are the result of a rigorous development program where the product has been engineered to provide the necessary wound-healing benefits. The precise scale and proportion is designed to provide optimal oxygen and vapor transpiration, as well as microbial impermeability, tensile strength, and flexibility. Learn more.
