McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing Sheet, Sterile, 4" x 8"

The McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing is designed for clinicians and caregivers managing wounds with moderate to heavy drainage. Derived from natural seaweed fibers, this sterile alginate sheet forms a soft gel upon contact with wound exudate, creating an environment that supports the body's natural healing process while minimizing trauma during dressing changes.

This 4 x 8 inch rectangular dressing offers an optimal gelling profile that helps prevent adherence to the wound bed, allowing for removal in one piece without disturbing new tissue growth. Its highly absorptive, nonocclusive construction makes it well suited for filling or packing dead space in deeper wounds, helping to manage exudate levels and support a stable healing environment.

Because the dressing can be trimmed to match individual wound dimensions, clinicians have flexibility when addressing wounds of varying shapes and depths. As with other alginate dressings, a secondary dressing is required to secure the sheet in place and protect the wound from external contaminants.

Packaged sterile for single use, the McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing Sheet is a practical choice for facilities and home care settings seeking a reliable, absorbent wound care solution.

What is this McKesson alginate dressing used for?
It is used to manage wounds with moderate to heavy exudate and can also be used to fill or pack dead space within a wound to support healing.
Does this dressing need a secondary cover?
Yes. A secondary dressing is required to hold the alginate sheet in place and protect the wound from outside contaminants.
Can the dressing be cut to size?
Yes, the dressing may be trimmed to fit the specific dimensions of the wound before application.
Is this dressing sterile?
Yes, each McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing Sheet is sterile and intended for single use.
Will this dressing help with minor bleeding?
The dressing is highly absorptive and may help control minor bleeding in addition to managing wound exudate.
