Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing McKesson Sterile

A highly absorbent gelling fiber dressing that combines two proven technologies — carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and high-G calcium alginate. On contact with exudate the soft, conformable sheet becomes a clear, cohesive gel, maintaining the moist environment that supports healing while staying intact for removal. Choose the flat sheet or the ribbon (rope) format for packing cavity wounds — the ribbon can be cut with sterile scissors to size. Sterile.

• For moderately to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds, including wounds infected or at risk of infection; can act as a haemostat to control minor bleeding in superficial wounds
• Use on pressure ulcers, venous and arterial leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, graft and donor sites, post-operative surgical wounds, superficial and partial-thickness burns, and cavity wounds
• Sterile non-woven sheet of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and high-G calcium alginate
• Highly absorbent; the sheet transforms into a clear, soft, cohesive gel on contact with exudate, maintaining a moist wound environment that aids autolytic debridement
• Quilted pattern with a hidden reinforcement layer for absorbency, intimate wound-bed contact and wet integrity, so the dressing stays intact on removal
• Low lateral wicking and vertical absorption reduce the risk of maceration and damage to peri-wound skin
• Calcium ions exchange with sodium ions in the exudate, supporting the healing process
• Excellent wet and dry strength
• Not made with natural rubber latex
