Product Overview
Mckesson - 3562 - Alginate Dressing 4 x 4-3/4 Inch Rectangle
The Mckesson Alginate Dressing is a highly absorbent wound care dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Made from natural calcium sodium alginate fibers, this dressing forms a soft gel upon contact with wound exudate, creating a moist healing environment while helping to control bleeding and minimize trauma during dressing changes.
Features:
- Made from natural alginate fibers derived from seaweed for biocompatibility and gentle wound care.
- Highly absorbent to manage moderate to heavy exudate effectively.
- Forms a gel-like consistency when in contact with wound fluid, maintaining a moist healing environment.
- Non-adherent to minimize trauma and pain during removal.
- Sterile and lint-free to reduce the risk of contamination.
- Suitable for partial and full-thickness wounds, including pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and diabetic ulcers.
Specifications:
- Size: 4 x 4-3/4 inches (rectangle)
- Material: Calcium sodium alginate
- Sterility: Sterile
- Packaging: Individually wrapped for single-use hygiene
- Latex-free for reduced risk of allergic reactions
Use Suggestion:
For optimal results, cleanse the wound with a sterile saline solution before applying the alginate dressing. Place the dressing directly over the wound, ensuring full coverage. For heavily exuding wounds, a secondary dressing may be required to secure the alginate and absorb additional fluid. Change the dressing as needed, typically every 1-3 days, or when saturated. Always follow healthcare provider recommendations for wound care management.
