Description
Highly absorbent calcium alginate dressings that help clinicians and home caregivers manage wounds with moderate to heavy drainage.
Place the alginate directly on the wound as the primary dressing and cover it with a secondary dressing. It helps keep moisture balanced in and around the wound and wicks fluid straight up, which helps protect the surrounding skin from getting soggy.
Why caregivers like it
- It comes out intact thanks to its wet strength.
- Vertical wicking helps prevent maceration of the skin around the wound.
- It can stay in place for up to seven days.
