Key Features

• 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
• Calcium Alginate construction
• Sterile, individually packaged
