Calcium Alginate Dressing 4" x 8" Rectangle Calcium Alginate Sterile, 5/BX 10BX/CS

This calcium alginate dressing is a sterile 4 inch x 8 inch rectangular sheet for wound care. It suits care settings that need an absorptive dressing for moderate to heavy wound exudate, with the option to trim the sheet or use it to fill or pack dead space in a wound. The calcium alginate material is non-occlusive, helps maintain integrity for one-piece removal, and requires a secondary dressing to keep it in place.
