Order # 372316_BX Manufacturer # 59480200 Brand AlgiSite M Manufacturer Smith & Nephew. Application Calcium Alginate Dressing.
- Color: White
- Dimensions: 4 X 4 Inch
- Material: Calcium Alginate
- Shape: Square
- Sterility: Sterile
- Easy to remove: When used in a moderate to highly exuding wound, the dressing forms a soft gel, which does not adhere to the delicate healing tissues in the wound bed
- Conforms to wound contours: Algisite M is very soft and conformable, allowing it to be molded, folded or cut to meet a wide range of wound shapes and sizes. As the fibers gel, an even more intimate contact with the wound is produced and maintained
- Less fiber shed: All fiber-based alginates release fibers when handled, however the advanced bonding technique employed in Algisite M greatly reduces this
- Algisite M can absorb 13 times its own weight in exudate: This allows the dressing to remain in the wound for up to 7 days, depending on the nature of the wound and the volume of exudate
