Calcium Alginate Dressing 2" x 2" Square Calcium Alginate Sterile, 10/BX 10BX/CS

This calcium alginate dressing is a sterile 2 inch x 2 inch square sheet for wound care. It works well when you need an absorbent dressing for moderate to heavy exudate, including wounds with dead space that may need filling or packing.
