McKesson Alginate Dressing 2 X 2'' Sterile

These calcium alginates can be used as 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. McKesson calcium alginate dressing sheets require a secondary dressing. They are indicated for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate and may help absorb minor bleeding.

• 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.
• Can be used to fill or pack the dead space in a wound.
• Helps absorb moderate to heavy amounts of wound exudate and may help control minor bleeding.
• May be trimmed to fit wound dimensions.
• A secondary dressing is needed to hold alginates in place and to protect the wound from outside contaminants.
