What is 50529938R-Each Calcicare Calcium Alginate 2 X 2?

The 50529938R-Each Calcicare Calcium Alginate 2 X 2 is a sterile wound dressing designed for effective management of exuding wounds. Made from natural alginate fibers derived from seaweed, it forms a gel upon contact with wound exudate, maintaining a moist healing environment. This promotes autolytic debridement and supports granulation tissue formation. Each dressing measures 2 inches by 2 inches, making it suitable for small to medium-sized wounds. Sold individually by Diabetesstore, it's a trusted choice in clinical and home care settings.
