Smith & Nephew Calcium Alginate Dressing AlgiSite M .75" x 12" Rectangle Calcium Alginate Sterile

Calcium Alginate Dressing AlgiSite M .75" x 12" Rectangle Calcium Alginate Sterile

AlgiSite M calcium alginate dressing is a sterile, non-adhesive wound dressing in a 3/4 inch x 12 inch rectangular format. It is a practical choice for moderate to highly exuding wounds when buyers need a soft, conformable dressing that can be molded, folded, or cut for different wound shapes. The calcium alginate fibers form a soft gel in contact with exudate, and the dressing can be removed in one piece or washed out with saline.
