Description
The Cardinal Health Calcium Alginate Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing with Ionic Silver is a sterile, non-woven pad designed to manage moderate to heavy exuding wounds. Measuring 8 inches by 12 inches, this dressing combines high G (guluronic acid) calcium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and an ionic silver complex to provide effective wound care. Upon contact with wound exudate, the alginate forms a gel that maintains a moist environment conducive to optimal healing. The release of silver ions offers broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection, reducing the risk of infection. This dressing is suitable for various wound types, including pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-operative surgical wounds, first- and second-degree burns, graft and donor sites, trauma wounds, and superficial and partial-thickness burns.
Key Features:
- High Absorbency: Capable of absorbing up to 20 times its weight in exudate, effectively managing wound moisture levels.
- Antimicrobial Protection: Ionic silver release provides protection against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
- Maintains Moist Environment: Gel formation promotes a moist wound environment, facilitating faster healing.
- Easy Removal: Reinforced cohesive fiber construction allows for intact, one-piece removal, minimizing trauma to the wound bed.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of wound types and exudate levels.
