Calcicare Calcium Alginate Dressing 4 X 4.75

What is 50529937R-Each Calcicare Calcium Alginate Dressing 4 X 4.75?

Calcicare Calcium Alginate Dressing is a sterile, highly absorbent wound dressing made from soft fibers of calcium alginate, a naturally derived material harvested from seaweed. Sized at 4 x 4.75 inches, this single-unit pack is designed for managing moderately to heavily draining wounds, where it converts exudate into a soft gel that supports a moist healing environment.

Key features

• Calcium alginate fiber — naturally derived material that conforms to the wound bed as it absorbs.
• Gel-forming action — transforms drainage into a soft gel that helps maintain a moist healing surface.
• 4 x 4.75 inch pad — practical size for medium wounds, and easy to cut or fold to fit smaller areas.
• Sterile packaging — each dressing comes individually sealed for clean, single-use application.
• High absorbency — built to handle moderate to heavy exudate without saturating the surrounding skin.
• Conformable pad — soft fiber structure adapts to wound contours and shallow cavities.
• Sold as each — buy only what you need rather than committing to a full case.

Who is 50529937R-Each Calcicare Calcium Alginate Dressing 4 X 4.75 for?

This dressing is a strong fit for home caregivers, wound-care nurses, and clinicians managing diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers, donor sites, or post-surgical wounds with moderate to heavy drainage. It suits users who already understand basic dressing-change technique, including the need for a secondary cover dressing to hold the alginate in place. If you are restocking supplies for a long-term care routine or a wound-care kit at home, the single-unit pricing makes it easy to keep just what you need on hand.

How does 50529937R-Each Calcicare Calcium Alginate Dressing 4 X 4.75 compare?

Compared with traditional gauze, calcium alginate absorbs far more fluid for its size and lifts away more cleanly because it gels rather than sticking to the wound bed. Against foam dressings, alginates tend to handle deeper, more heavily exuding wounds and conform better to irregular shapes, though foams may be preferred when you want a built-in cover layer. Versus hydrocolloids or hydrogels, which target dry or lightly draining wounds, this alginate is the better choice when drainage volume is the main challenge.
