Calcium Alginate Dressing 3561 - 2 x 2 Inch - Sterile

Calcium Alginate Dressings by McKesson are square, sheet dressings that are used as a primary dressing that is designed to be cut to fit wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. The dressings absorb wound fluid while helping to maintain a moist wound environment. The seaweed-derived alginate turns to a moist gel mass material when saturated, helping to regenerate skin and expedite the healing process. Requires a secondary dressing.

Vitality Medical also carries other items that would pair well with the Calcium Alginate Dressings, such as Mepilex Border Dressing and Betadine Povidone Iodine Solutions.
