Vitale Strong Silver Calcium Alginate Dressings, 2X2, 10 EA/BX, 10 BX/CS
Features
- Silver-infused: The dressing contains silver, which has antimicrobial properties that help prevent infection and promote healing.
- Rope shape: The dressing is in a rope shape, measuring 3/4" in diameter and 12" in length. This shape allows for easy application and filling of deep or tunnelling wounds.
- Calcium alginate: Made from natural seaweed fibers, calcium alginate forms a gel-like substance when it comes into contact with wound exudates. This gel helps create a moist wound environment, which is essential for healing.
Benefits
- Promotes healing: The calcium alginate in the dressing helps create a moist wound environment, which is known to promote faster healing.
- Non-adherent: The dressing is non-adherent, meaning it won't stick to the wound bed, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.
- Easy application: The rope shape of the dressing makes it easy to apply and fill deep or tunnelling wounds, ensuring optimal coverage and protection.
- Highly absorbent: The dressing has excellent absorbency, effectively managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds and reducing the risk of maceration.
- Antimicrobial action: The silver in the dressing helps reduce the risk of infection by killing bacteria and other micro organisms that may be present in the wound.
