Calcium Alginate Dressings are an essential part of any advanced medical supplies kit. These dressings are highly absorbent and designed specifically to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Made from natural seaweed-derived alginate fibers, they form a gel-like substance upon contact with wound fluid, maintaining a moist environment that promotes faster healing. Calcium Alginate Dressings are perfect for various wound types, including pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical wounds.
i) Highly Absorbent: Excellent for managing moderate to heavy exudate wounds.
ii) Moist Healing Environment: Transforms into a gel, promoting optimal wound healing conditions.
iii) Comfortable: The soft texture reduces discomfort during application and removal.
iv) Non-Adherent: Minimizes trauma to the wound bed upon removal.
v) Versatile Use: Suitable for different types of wounds, such as pressure sores and surgical wounds.
i) Wound Exudate Level: Choose calcium alginate for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate.
ii) Size of the Wound: Ensure the dressing size fits the wound area, leaving enough overhang for proper sealing.
iii) Material Compatibility: Check if the patient has any sensitivity to alginate-based products.
iv) Wound Type: Consider alginate dressings for chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers or trauma-induced wounds.
v) Application Duration: Select dressings that match the frequency of dressing changes needed.
To meet diverse wound care needs, our Calcium Alginate Dressings come in the following sizes, ideal for various applications and wound dimensions:
i) 2" x 2": Suitable for smaller wounds or areas with less exudate.
