Usage/Application

Ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy drainage, pressure injuries, leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, cavity wounds, clinics, hospitals, long-term care facilities, assisted living, home care, and caregiver-supported wound management where a calcium alginate dressing has been recommended. Use the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional for wounds with moderate to heavy drainage, applying the calcium alginate to the wound or, for cavity wounds, loosely packing it per instructions, and covering it with an appropriate secondary dressing to hold it in place and manage exudate. As it absorbs drainage, the alginate forms a soft gel that helps maintain a moist wound environment. Because it needs moisture to work, it suits moderate-to-heavily exuding wounds rather than dry or low-exudate wounds, where it could dry out or adhere. Change the dressing when it becomes saturated or as directed by the wound-care plan, monitor the wound for signs of infection, and follow the care team's guidance, since cavity, deep, infected, or non-healing wounds require professional assessment.
