It's a smart choice for anyone caring for pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, or other draining wounds at home or in a clinical setting. Made from natural alginate fibers, it helps manage \u003cstrong\u003ewound exudate\u003c\/strong\u003e while supporting a moist healing environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Sorbalgon contacts wound fluid, the dry alginate fibers \u003cstrong\u003etransform into a soft, moist gel\u003c\/strong\u003e that conforms closely to the wound bed. This gel traps exudate to help keep excess fluid away from healthy surrounding skin, supports the body's natural healing process, and cushions the wound. Because it molds to the wound's contours, it works well for both flat and cavity wounds, and it can typically be removed cleanly with minimal disturbance to newly forming tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dressing is available in \u003cstrong\u003emultiple options\u003c\/strong\u003e—choose a single dressing or a convenient \u003cstrong\u003eBox of 10\u003c\/strong\u003e to keep on hand for regular dressing changes. Alginate dressings like Sorbalgon are usually covered with a secondary dressing to hold them in place.
