Description
Melgisorb Calcium Alginate Dressing
Molnlycke Melgisorb Ag Calcium Alginate Dressing is a highly absorbent alginate dressing with CMC and ionic silver that kills bacteria for up to four days. It is made of soft alginate fibres formed into a non-woven material. The superb wet strength of these alginate fibers do not allow the dressing to disintegrate in the wound bed so it may be removed easily in one piece. It can absorb large amounts of exudate, 18 times its own weight.Molnlycke Melgisorb Calcium Dressing Features
