Melgisorb Plus Alginate Dressing, 5 x 5 Centimeter

Molnlycke Melgisorb Plus Alginate Dressing, 5 x 5 cm

The Molnlycke Melgisorb Plus Alginate Dressing is a highly absorbent calcium alginate wound dressing designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. It's an excellent choice for caregivers and clinicians managing pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot wounds, surgical wounds, and other draining wounds that need effective exudate management to support healing.

When it comes into contact with wound fluid, Melgisorb Plus absorbs exudate and quickly turns into a soft gel, creating the moist wound environment that promotes faster, more comfortable healing. This gelling action helps keep excess moisture away from the surrounding skin while conforming closely to the wound bed, so the dressing can be removed cleanly and with less disruption to delicate new tissue.

This dressing measures 5 x 5 centimeters and is available in multiple purchase options, including a single unit, a box of 10, and a case of 100, so you can order the quantity that fits your care routine. It should be covered with an appropriate secondary dressing to hold it in place. Choose your preferred option below.
