Product Overview
Medline - MSC7344EP - Maxorb II Calcium Alginate Dressing
The Medline Maxorb II Calcium Alginate Dressing is a highly absorbent wound dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily exudating wounds. Made from calcium alginate fibers, it forms a soft gel upon contact with wound fluid, maintaining a moist healing environment while promoting autolytic debridement. Ideal for partial- and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and surgical wounds, this dressing helps facilitate natural healing.
Key Features:
- High Absorbency: Effectively manages moderate to heavy exudate, reducing the risk of maceration.
- Calcium Alginate Material: Converts into a gel upon contact with wound fluid, supporting moist wound healing.
- Non-Adherent: Minimizes trauma during dressing changes, enhancing patient comfort.
- Hemostatic Properties: Aids in controlling minor bleeding, making it suitable for post-surgical wounds.
- Sterile and Single-Use: Ensures a clean, hygienic application for optimal wound care.
Specifications:

Suggested Use:
Gently cleanse the wound with a saline solution before application. Place the Maxorb II dressing directly over the wound, ensuring full coverage. For heavily exudating wounds, a secondary dressing may be required to secure the alginate dressing in place. Change the dressing as needed based on exudate levels, typically every 1–3 days. Dispose of used dressings according to medical waste guidelines.
This dressing is an excellent choice for clinicians seeking an effective, easy-to-use solution for managing exudating wounds while promoting optimal healing conditions.
