It's a trusted choice for caregivers and clinicians managing pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic wounds, surgical wounds, and other draining injuries where excess fluid can slow healing. The alginate fibers transform on contact with wound fluid, delivering gentle, effective exudate management right where it's needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the dressing absorbs exudate, its fibers form a \u003cstrong\u003esoft, moist gel\u003c\/strong\u003e that conforms intimately to the wound bed. This creates the moist wound environment associated with optimal healing, while the gel structure means the dressing \u003cstrong\u003edoes not adhere to delicate new tissue\u003c\/strong\u003e, making removal comfortable and atraumatic. AlgiSite M is remarkably conformable—it can be molded, folded, or cut to fit a wide range of wound shapes and sizes—and its advanced bonding technique \u003cstrong\u003egreatly reduces fiber shedding\u003c\/strong\u003e compared with standard fiber-based alginates. With the ability to absorb up to 13 times its own weight in fluid, it can stay in place for up to 7 days depending on the wound and exudate volume, meaning fewer dressing changes and less disruption to healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003e4 x 4 inch (10 x 10 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e AlgiSite M dressing, available in multiple purchase options—choose a \u003cstrong\u003eSingle\u003c\/strong\u003e dressing, a \u003cstrong\u003eBox of 10\u003c\/strong\u003e, or a \u003cstrong\u003eCase of 100\u003c\/strong\u003e to match your supply needs.
