Product Overview
Smith & Nephew Calcium Alginate Dressing – 59480100
Description:
The Smith & Nephew Calcium Alginate Dressing is a highly absorbent wound care product made from fast-gelling, high mannuronic acid fibers derived from natural seaweed. Upon contact with wound exudate, the dressing transforms into a soft, hydrophilic gel that conforms to the wound bed, promoting a moist healing environment. This feature helps facilitate autolytic debridement and supports optimal wound healing conditions.
Features:
- Made from natural, renewable seaweed-derived calcium alginate
- Forms a protective gel upon contact with wound exudate
- Maintains a moist wound environment to aid healing
- Highly absorbent for moderate to heavily exuding wounds
- Non-adherent gel minimizes trauma during dressing changes
- Sterile and ready for immediate use
Specifications:
- Size: 2" x 2"
- Quantity: 10 dressings per package, 10 packages per case
- Material: Calcium alginate fibers
- Sterility: Sterile

Use Suggestion:
Ideal for managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and diabetic foot ulcers. Apply directly to the wound bed and cover with an appropriate secondary dressing. Change as needed based on exudate levels or as directed by a healthcare professional.
