Calcium Alginate Dressing with Antimicrobial Silver 4" x 8" Rectangle Sterile, 5 EA/BX

This calcium alginate dressing with antimicrobial silver is a sterile 4 inch x 8 inch rectangle sheet for wound care applications. It is a practical choice for settings managing moderate to heavy wound exudate, especially when a dressing that may help control minor bleeding and can be trimmed to fit is preferred.
