Melgisorb Plus Calcium Alginate Dressing Rope, Sterile, 1.2 x 17.7"

The Melgisorb Plus Calcium Alginate Dressing Rope is designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds that require a rope-style dressing to fill deeper or tunneling wound cavities. As it contacts wound fluid, the calcium alginate fibers transform into a soft, cohesive gel, helping to maintain a moist wound bed that supports the body's natural healing process.

This rope format allows clinicians and caregivers to gently pack irregularly shaped wounds, cavities, and sinus tracts, ensuring the dressing conforms closely to the wound surface for consistent exudate management. By absorbing excess drainage and locking it within the gel structure, the dressing helps reduce the risk of maceration to surrounding skin while minimizing the frequency of dressing changes.

Each dressing measures 1.2 x 17.7 inches (3 x 44 centimeters), providing ample length for use on a variety of wound sizes. Molnlycke's Melgisorb Plus line is widely used in clinical and home care settings for its reliable performance in exudate absorption and gel formation, making it a trusted choice for wound care professionals managing draining wounds.
