SILVER ALGINATE DRESSING 1in x 12in (J1433Y) - 10/box

JorVet Silver Alginate dressing is a fibrous, highly absorbent (up to 20x its weight), all-natural biodegradable material derived from seaweed. The dressing absorbs exudates and forms a gel-like covering over the wound, which maintains a moist environment for optimal wound healing. The gel-like surface also keeps the dressing from adhering to the wound, which makes dressing removal painless. Metallic silver particles are added to the Calcium Alginate fibers that inhibit the growth of bacteria in the dressing. Each dressing contains 50ug/100cm2 metallic silver particles. Features: • All-natural • Metallic silver particles inhibit the growth of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria within the dressing material • Highly absorbent, up to 20x its weight • Maintains a moist wound environment • Adaptable to wound size and shape • Easy to apply, reposition, and remove • Valuable tool in wound management
