The DM00270E-Box Dermaginate Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing, 4.25 X 4.25 is a sterile, non-woven dressing made from natural calcium alginate fibers derived from seaweed. Upon contact with wound exudate, it forms a soft gel that maintains a moist healing environment, promoting autolytic debridement and reducing risk of maceration.

Priced at $3.04, it's a cost-effective option for ongoing wound care, especially in clinical or home health settings.
