DermaGinate Alginate Dressing, 4-1/4 x 4-1/4 Inch

Dermarite DermaGinate Alginate Dressing, 4-1/4 x 4-1/4 Inch

The Dermarite DermaGinate Alginate Dressing is a highly absorbent wound dressing designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Made from natural seaweed-derived alginate fibers, it's ideal for caregivers, clinicians, and individuals managing draining wounds such as pressure injuries, ulcers, surgical sites, and abrasions that need reliable exudate control and a supportive healing environment.

On contact with wound moisture, the alginate fibers transform into a soft gel, drawing up excess exudate while helping to maintain a moist wound healing environment that supports the body's natural recovery process. Because it conforms readily to any wound bed, the dressing settles comfortably into irregular or cavity wounds, promoting effective contact and helping to reduce the frequency of dressing changes. This day-to-day benefit means less disruption to the wound and greater comfort for the wearer.

This dressing measures 4-1/4 x 4-1/4 inches and is available in a Single or a convenient Box of 10 for ongoing wound care needs. Its gentle, nature-derived formulation makes it a soft and effective choice for sensitive skin. Many home wound-care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible.
