What sets Algisite M apart is its high-integrity fiber weave; as it absorbs exudate, it transforms into a soft, conformable gel that does not \"wash away\" or fragment. This ensures the wound bed remains clean and undisturbed, while the clinician can remove the dressing quickly and completely in one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e✔ High Structural Integrity — Lifts Cleanly Without Leaving Residue    ✔ Exceptional Absorbency — Manages Heavy Fluid for Up to 7 Days    ✔ Soft \u0026amp; Conformable — Molds to Irregular Wound Contours    ✔ Supports Debridement — Creates the Ideal Moist Healing Environment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Available Sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmith \u0026amp; Nephew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalcium Alginate (High-Mannuronic Acid Fibers)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e2\" x 2\" (5x5 cm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem # 59480100 — Sterile, individual pad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e4\" x 4\" (10x10 cm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem # 59480200 — Sterile, individual pad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e6\" x 8\" (15x20 cm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem # 59480300 — Sterile, individual pad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e12\" Alginate Rope (2g)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem # 59480400 — Ideal for packing deep cavities\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSterility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLatex\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot made with natural rubber latex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecondary Dressing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequired (e.g., Allevyn Foam or Opsite Film)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIndicated For — Wound Types\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull and partial thickness wounds with moderate to heavy exudate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePressure injuries (Stages 2, 3, and 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVenous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiabetic foot ulcers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePost-operative surgical wounds and donor sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLacerations, abrasions, and skin tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Algisite M Advantage — Why Integrity Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many standard alginates, the fibers can break apart when saturated, requiring extensive irrigation to clean the wound bed. Algisite M is specifically designed to minimize this fiber shed. The gelling process is localized to the fibers themselves, locking away harmful exudate and bacteria within a cohesive structure. This protects the periwound skin from maceration and ensures that the new, fragile granulation tissue is not damaged during dressing changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast-Gelling Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Starts working on contact to pull fluid away from the wound surface instantly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimal Fiber Shedding:\u003c\/strong\u003e The high-integrity weave ensures the dressing remains intact, even when fully saturated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Conformability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft and flexible, it easily fills \"dead space\" in deep wounds to prevent bacterial buildup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be folded, cut, or layered to fit any wound size or shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProven Clinical Results:\u003c\/strong\u003e A trusted Smith \u0026amp; Nephew product used in hospitals and wound clinics worldwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplication \u0026amp; Removal Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleanse the wound bed according to clinical standards.
