Calcium Alginate with Silver 4×5 (10 ct.)

Our antimicrobial Silver Calcium Alginate Dressings combine the bacteria-reducing power of silver with the super absorbent properties of an alginate, helping to draw in wound fluid and debris, reduce bioburden in infected wounds, and keep wounds clean!

The silver ions in these dressings provide an antibacterial action against numerous strains of bacteria, while the alginate forms a protective gel over the wound surface.

Silver Alginate Dressings are easy to apply and are often used to lower infection risk, especially in patients with diabetes and poor circulation.

What is a Calcium Alginate Dressing?

Our Calcium Alginate Dressings are a highly absorbent wound care dressing made from seaweed. These non-woven dressings can absorb up to 20 times their weight, making them ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy drainage.

When exposed to wound drainage, the calcium and sodium fibers in these dressings transform into a gel-like consistency that conforms to the shape of the wound bed. This helps to fill “dead space” and maintain a moist environment that promotes healing.

Calcium Alginate dressings are non-occlusive and non-adherent, allowing for gas and heat exchange while minimizing discomfort during dressing changes.

Advantages of Calcium Alginate with Silver Dressings

• absorb moderate to large amounts of drainage
• reduce risk of infection by lowering bacterial burden and absorbing debris
• maintain moist environment for natural healing (autolytic debridement)
• non-adherent, resulting in less pain with removal
