Kendall Curasorb Zinc Calcium Alginate Dressing
PRODUCT DETAILS
Kendall Curasorb Zinc Calcium Alginate Dressing is a sterile, single-use wound dressing made from calcium alginate fibers and is not made with natural rubber latex. The dressing absorbs wound exudate and forms a gel that conforms to the wound bed. Zinc is included in the dressing formulation. This dressing is indicated for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. A secondary dressing is required to secure it in place. The rope form is suitable for packing wound cavities or sinus tracts, while the sheet forms are designed for flat wound surfaces. The non-woven calcium/sodium alginate with high M alginate in a cohesive fiber construction provides the dressing's structure. Reinforced gelling fibers maintain a moist environment for optimal wound healing and granulation tissue formation. Highly absorbent gelling fibers wick and retain exudate away from the wound bed. The cohesive fiber construction allows easy intact one-piece atraumatic removal.
