Calcium Alginate Dressings by McKesson are rope-style wound dressings used as a primary dressing that can be cut to fit wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. They are formulated to absorb wound fluid while maintaining a moist wound environment. The seaweed-derived alginate turns into a moist gel mass when it contacts the wound exudate, helping to speed up the healing and regeneration of skin.
Vitality Medical also carries other items that pair well with the Calcium Alginate Dressings, such as the Restore Extra Thin Hydrocolloid Dressing and the Wound Wash Simply Saline. These complementary products enhance wound care and promote faster healing.
