Kendall Calcium Alginate Dressing-9238, 8 x 4″, Sterile, Each

Kendall Calcium Curasorb Calcium Alginate Dressing, 8 x 4″, Sterile
Item #: 9238

Bandage – Calcium Alginate Dressing – Hydrocolloid dressings
Kendall Covidien, calcium alginate dressings are designed to interact with sodium in wounds to create an ionic exchange and help jump-start the epitheliazation process.

They will have minimal shrinkage to help prevent maceration of the periwound. The isotonic sodium configuration is gentle on the wound. Gel block feature with unique fiber configuration encourages vertical wicking which pulls exudates straight through the dressing allowing more efficient exudate removal.

Stable gel formula having higher percentage of guluronic levels allows easier and painless removal and minimizes tissue trauma. The dressing absorbs approximately 20 times its weight in exudate.

Features

Gel Block Feature with unique fiber configuration: Encourages vertical wicking which pulls exudates straight through the dressing allowing more efficient exudate removal. Dressings are made with a unique fibers and a higher percentage of guluronic acid. This maximizes the absorption and minimizes trauma to the wound

Maintains Integrity: Allows fast and easy removal and clean up
Highly Absorbent fluid binding: Absorbs up to 20 times its weight in exudate maximizing wound fluid retention and removal. Allows fewer dressing changes

Minimal Shrinkage: Helps prevent maceration of periwound

Unique Calcium to Sodium Ratio: Proliferates sodium – calcium exchange with the wound: Donates calcium to the wound and removes sodium from wound helping to regulate wound bed
Easy and Painless to Remove
Minimal Tissue Trauma

Isotonic Sodium configuration: Gentle on wound
High Calcium Levels: Speed Hemostasis
Stable Gel Formula: Higher percentage of guluronic levels allows easier removal and minimizes tissue trauma. Maximizes patient comfort during removal and debridement
