Simpurity Alginate Dressing, 2 x 2 Inch

Safe Simpurity Alginate Dressing, 2 x 2 Inch

The Safe Simpurity Alginate Dressing is a highly absorbent wound dressing designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Made from natural alginate fibers, it's ideal for anyone managing pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetic wounds, surgical wounds, or other draining wounds where excess fluid needs to be controlled. Its gel-forming property helps maintain a moist wound environment that supports the body's natural healing process.

When this dressing comes into contact with wound exudate, the alginate fibers transform into a soft, conformable gel that molds to the shape of the wound bed. This gel formation keeps the wound moist while wicking away excess fluid, and it facilitates autolytic debridement to help clear away non-viable tissue. Thanks to its excellent wet tensile strength, the dressing can be lifted out in one piece or gently irrigated away, making dressing changes cleaner and more comfortable.

This dressing measures 2 x 2 inches and is available in multiple purchase options: a Single dressing, a Box of 10, or a Case of 160, so you can stock up according to your needs. Highly absorbent and conforming, it's a dependable choice for home or clinical wound care and is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity below.
