Alginate Dressings

255-1117 Algisite M Dressing 5cm x 5cm (Pack of 10)

Algisite M is a calcium-alginate dressing which forms a soft, integral gel when it comes into contact with wound exudate.  Excess wound exudate is absorbed in this process. Algisite M utilises the proven benefits of moist wound healing, which results in faster healing of even difficult wounds.
