Calcium Alginates: Primary dressing that can be cut to fit wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. They absorb wound fluid while maintaining a moist wound environment. The alginate, derived from seaweed, turns to a moist gel mass material when saturated. Requires a secondary dressing.

Indications: Wounds with moderate to heavy exudate and may help absorb minor bleeding. Contraindications: Patients with a known hypersensitivity to the product itself or its components. Change Frequency: Change dressing as directed by a healthcare professional. Recommended Secondary Dressings: Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing depending on the amount of exudate and frequency of dressing change.

Helps absorb moderate to heavy amounts of wound exudate and may help control minor bleeding.

A secondary dressing is needed to hold alginates in place and to protect the wound from outside contaminants.

Optimal gelling profile allows dressing to avoid sticking to the wound bed and helps maintain physical integrity to allow removal from the wound in one piece.

Highly absorptive, non-occlusive.

May be trimmed to fit wound dimensions.
