McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing Sheet, Sterile, 4" x 8"

McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing Sheet, Reinforced, 4 in x 8 inThe McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing is a sterile, highly absorptive wound care sheet designed for wounds producing moderate to heavy exudate. Made from calcium alginate fibers, this reinforced dressing forms a soft gel upon contact with wound fluid, creating a moist healing environment while helping to avoid adherence to the wound bed. Its reinforced construction helps the dressing maintain physical integrity, allowing for easier, one-piece removal during dressing changes. This calcium alginate wound dressing measures 4 x 8 inches and can be trimmed to fit the exact size and shape of the wound, making it a versatile option for a variety of wound care needs. It is also suitable for filling or packing dead space within a wound, helping to support proper wound bed contact and drainage management. Nonocclusive and breathable, the dressing allows the wound to be monitored while helping absorb excess moisture and manage minor bleeding. Because alginate dressings do not adhere to skin surrounding the wound, a secondary dressing is required to secure it in place and protect the wound from outside contaminants. Each dressing is individually sterile-packaged for safe, single-use application in clinical and home care settings.
