Product Overview
The Lohmann & Rauscher - 20440 - Alginate Dressing Suprasorba 2 x 2 Inch Square is a highly absorbent wound dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Made from natural calcium alginate fibers derived from seaweed, this dressing forms a soft gel upon contact with wound exudate, maintaining a moist healing environment while promoting autolytic debridement.
Features:
- High Absorbency: Effectively manages moderate to heavy exudate, reducing the risk of maceration.
- Natural Alginate Material: Derived from seaweed, ensuring biocompatibility and gentle wound contact.
- Gel-Forming Action: Creates a protective gel layer that supports moist wound healing and minimizes trauma during dressing changes.
- Non-Adherent: Minimizes pain and tissue damage upon removal.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for partial and full-thickness wounds, including pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and diabetic foot ulcers.
Specifications:
- Size: 2 x 2 inches (5 x 5 cm) square
- Material: Calcium alginate fibers
- Sterility: Sterile
- Packaging: Individually wrapped for single-use hygiene
Use Suggestion:
Apply the alginate dressing directly to the wound bed after cleansing. For heavily exuding wounds, cover with a secondary dressing such as a foam or film to secure and enhance absorption. Change the dressing as needed based on exudate levels, typically every 1–3 days.
