When in contact with wound exudate, calcium ions in the dressing exchange with sodium ions in the exudate causing the dressing to transform from a dry, fibrous state to a firm, moist gel. The dressing provides a moist environment helping to create optimal wound-healing conditions and maintains its integrity allowing for easy, atraumatic removal.

What the major clinical benefits of using the dressing?

Absorbs large amount of exudate, enhances wear time and reduces dressing change frequency.

Alginate fiber transforms to gel after absorbing exudate which reduces the risk of maceration.

Does not adhere to wound site, can be easily removed without pain or trauma.

The unique dressing integrity makes for one-piece removal.
