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

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

This calcium alginate dressing is a sterile 2 inch x 2 inch square wound dressing for managing moderate to heavy exudate. It fits wound care settings where buyers need an absorptive, non-occlusive sheet that may also help control minor bleeding and can be trimmed to fit wound dimensions. The dressing is made to gel without sticking to the wound bed and is removed in one piece, but it requires a secondary dressing to keep it in place and protect the wound.
