DermaGinate Calcium Alginate Dressing is designed for moderate to high exudating wounds. Made from natural seaweed-derived fibers, it activates through a calcium-to-sodium ion exchange when exposed to wound fluid. This process forms a soft, hydrophilic gel that conforms to the wound bed and supports moist wound healing.
The gel created through this moisture-activated gelling fiber technology helps manage exudate, supports autolytic debridement, and maintains an optimal healing environment. Manufactured by DermaRite, DermaGinate absorbs up to 17 times its weight in fluid and reduces the need for frequent dressing changes. Its flexible structure conforms well to irregular wound sites and tunnels.
