McKesson Gelling Fiber Dressing

• McKesson Gelling Fiber Dressing
• Indicated for moderately to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds, infected or at risk of infection, and can act as a hemostat to control minor bleeding in superficial wounds
• May be used during the healing process on decubitus ulcers (pressure ulcers), venous and arterial leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, graft and donor sites, post-operative surgical wounds, superficial and partial thickness burns, and cavity wounds
• Sterile, non-woven material composed of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and a high G (guluronic acid) calcium alginate
• Highly absorbent to manage moderate- to high-exuding wounds and create a favorable environment for effective wound management
• High gelling action promotes fast healing through a moist wound environment
• Soft, conformable, non-woven sheet transforms into clear, soft, cohesive gel when in contact with wound exudate to maintain a moist wound environment, which assists in the wound healing process and aids autolytic debridement
• Excellent wet and dry strength
• Unique quilting pattern aids with absorbency, tensile performance, and intimate wound bed contact
• CMC-based material features a quilting pattern design enhanced with a hidden reinforcement layer for improved wet integrity and superior tensile performance, allowing the clinician confidence that the dressing remains intact when removed during dressing change
• Low lateral wicking performance minimizes the risk of excoriation and maceration of wound and peri-wound skin
• Innovative combination of two proven wound care technologies based on CMC and alginate fibers
• Uniquely designed to provide all the benefits of an alginate dressing while also offering high wet strength and clear gelling properties, to ensure a maintained moist wound environment
• Calcium ions present within the alginate fibers of the dressing exchange with sodium ions found in the wound exudate
• Donation of calcium benefits the wound by stimulating cytokines essential to the wound healing process
• Vertically absorbs exudate into the dressing, reducing the risk of maceration and damage to the peri-wound skin
• Square sheet design measures 2 in x 2 in (5.1 cm x 5.1 cm)
• Individually packaged for single sterile use
• Not made with natural rubber latex
