Melgisorb Plus Alginate Dressing, 3 x 44 Centimeter

Molnlycke Melgisorb Plus Alginate Dressing, 3 x 44 cm

The Molnlycke Melgisorb Plus Alginate Dressing is a highly absorbent calcium alginate wound dressing designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Measuring 3 x 44 centimeters, this rope-style dressing is ideal for packing cavity wounds, sinuses, and deeper wound beds where a conformable, absorbent material is needed to manage exudate and support the natural healing process.

On contact with wound fluid, Melgisorb Plus rapidly absorbs exudate and transforms into a soft gel, creating and maintaining the moist wound environment that promotes healing. This gelling action helps lock fluid away from the wound edges to protect surrounding skin, while the dressing conforms closely to the wound contours for comfortable, effective contact. When it's time to change the dressing, the gel structure supports gentle, atraumatic removal.

This dressing is offered in convenient purchase options so you can stock exactly what you need\u2014choose from a Single dressing, a Box of 5, or a Case of 50. Melgisorb Plus is typically covered with a secondary dressing to hold it in place. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible, so check with your plan administrator.
