Calcium Alginate/CMC Dressing
$5
Calcium Alginate/CMC Dressing delivers advanced wound care for moderate-to-heavy exudate, combining hemostatic control with bioactive healing. Ideal for pressure ulcers, diabetic wounds, and surgical sites, these sterile dressings utilize ion-exchange technology to form a protective gel, maintaining optimal moisture balance while minimizing infection risks. Unlike standard gauze, alginate/CMC fibers dissolve on contact with wound fluid, enabling pain-free removal and enhanced epithelial regeneration.
Key clinical advantages:
- Exudate management: Absorbs up to 20x its weight in fluid.
- Autolytic debridement: Promotes natural sloughing of necrotic tissue.
- Antimicrobial options: Silver-infused variants for infected wounds.
- Non-adherent design: Safe for fragile periwound skin.
Trusted by hospitals and home care providers, this dressing simplifies complex wound management with FDA-cleared efficacy and universal compatibility (works under compression bandages or secondary dressings).
Calcium Alginate/CMC Dressing revolutionizes wound care by merging medical-grade innovation with patient-centric design. Engineered for chronic and acute wounds, these dressings leverage natural seaweed-derived fibers (alginate) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to create a breathable, absorbent matrix that accelerates healing.
Science-Driven Healing Mechanism
When applied to exuding wounds, the dressing undergoes a smart ion exchange:
- Calcium ions in the alginate react with sodium in wound fluid, forming a soft gel barrier.
- This gel maintains a moist wound environment (critical for granulation tissue formation).
- CMC fibers lock in exudate, reducing maceration risks by 60% compared to traditional gauze (Journal of Wound Care, 2023).
Clinical Applications
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Reduces amputation risks by promoting vascularization.
- Burn Wounds: Cools tissue while absorbing protein-rich exudate.
- Post-Surgical Sites: Minimizes scarring via low-trauma removal.
User Benefits
- Pain-Free Removal: Gel consistency prevents tissue damage.
- Extended Wear Time: Up to 7 days for low-exudate wounds.
- Eco-Friendly: Biodegradable and free of latex/adhesives.
For infected wounds, silver alginate variants add broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection (effective against MRSA and Pseudomonas).
