McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing Sheet, Sterile, 2" x 2"

The McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing is a sterile, highly absorptive wound care sheet designed for moderate to heavy exuding wounds. Made from natural calcium alginate fibers, this 2 x 2 inch square dressing forms a soft gel when it contacts wound fluid, helping to maintain a moist healing environment while minimizing trauma to the wound bed during dressing changes.

This nonocclusive dressing offers an optimal gelling profile that helps it avoid sticking to the wound, while still maintaining enough physical integrity to be removed in one piece. It can also be used to gently fill or pack dead space within a wound, making it a versatile choice for a variety of wound care needs. The dressing may be trimmed to better match the size and shape of the wound for a more precise fit.

In addition to managing moderate to heavy exudate, this calcium alginate dressing may help control minor bleeding at the wound site. Because alginate dressings do not adhere on their own to the skin, a secondary dressing is required to hold this product in place and protect the wound from outside contaminants. This makes it an effective component of a layered, comprehensive wound care protocol used in clinical and home care settings alike.

Trusted by healthcare professionals, McKesson's sterile alginate dressing sheets provide a reliable option for wound management where absorbency and gentle removal are top priorities.
