WHY ALGINATE? Alginate dressings produce a hydrophilic gel when it comes into contact with wound exudate to provide a moist wound healing environment. This natural gel layer protects the wound and allows it to effectively heal.
PROMOTE HEALING: Our alginate dressing pads offer high absorbency and provide the optimal environment to promote healing. Alginate is a better alternative to gauze as it is softer, more absorbent, and gentle on the skin.
COMFORTABLE USE: Conforms to body contours and provides maximum patient comfort. Does not stick to the wound to prevent secondary damage and can be cut to size for those difficult areas.
STERILE AND INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED: Each dressing is manufactured in a sterile facility and are individually wrapped to prevent contamination of wounds. Can be used in hospitals, senior care homes, hospice, and other medical facilities.
MULTI-USE: Effective for applications such as post-operative wounds, bed sores, cysts, pressure ulcers, burns, and other minor traumas. Approved for Level II of the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS). Use code A6199 for billing/claims

Excellent
Exactly what we needed. Using this to pack an excision wound for a pinoidal cyst, and it's absorbant, keeps down gunk, doesn't irritate the area, and conforms to the space. Apparently it's the most comfortable packing as well. I have been using this for days when the patient is at work and comfort is vital (he is ten to twelve hours on his feet.) We alternate it with an iodine dressing overnight to reduce risk of infection.

It has been a long old haul this wound - the patient had to wait a year for surgery and there have been complications since, but this is the best dressing we have had. Highly recommended.
