Hartmann SorbalgonAg Dressing, Latex-Free, 4 x 4

What is EV999611-Box Hartmann SorbalgonAg Dressing, Latex-Free, 4 x 4?

The EV999611-Box Hartmann SorbalgonAg Dressing, Latex-Free, 4 x 4 is a sterile, silver-containing calcium alginate dressing designed for effective wound management. Made with soft alginate textile fibers, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and an ionic silver complex (silver carbonate), this dressing releases silver ions in the presence of wound fluid to help protect against microorganisms. As it absorbs exudate, it forms a soft, non-adhering gel that supports healing while maintaining a moist wound environment—critical for optimal tissue repair. The dressing remains intact upon removal, minimizing trauma and residue in the wound bed.

Key features

• Sterile and Latex-Free — safe for sensitive skin and reduces allergy risk.
• Silver-Alginate Composition — combines absorbency with antimicrobial protection.
• Highly Absorbent — manages moderate to heavy wound exudate effectively.

How does EV999611-Box Hartmann SorbalgonAg Dressing, Latex-Free, 4 x 4 compare?

Compared to standard alginate dressings, the addition of silver enhances microbial protection, making it superior for infected or high-risk wounds. Unlike gauze or foam dressings, it offers higher absorbency and forms a protective gel, reducing dressing change frequency. It outperforms non-antimicrobial alginates in bioburden control while maintaining the structural integrity lacking in some lower-tier alternatives. For latex-sensitive users, its latex-free design offers a safer option over traditional products that may contain allergens.
