The Medline Maxorb Extra Calcium Alginate Dressing is a top-quality wound care product that offers exceptional performance for efficient wound healing. It features a nonwoven alginate and carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC) fiber combination that interacts with wound exudates to form a gel, providing for a moist healing environment. This dressing is particularly effective in managing exuding wounds, as it has a high absorption rate that helps to manage excess fluids and prevent maceration. The fluid will not wick laterally, meaning it stays confined to the dressing and doesn't spread to the surrounding skin. It also features superior gelling and fluid handling ensuring that wounds remain clean, moist and protected. Whether you're dealing with surgical wounds, pressure ulcers, or other types of wounds, Medline Maxorb Extra Calcium Alginate Dressing is a must-have for wound healing.
