- DESCRIPTION – MarvellHealth Calcium Alginate Dressing with high integrity and high gelling properties provide clinicians with a choice of products to meet their needs for moderate to heavily exudating wounds. MarvellHealth Calcium Alginate Dressing become a gel-like consistency as they absorb exudate. MarvellHealth Calcium Alginate Dressing absorb up to 20 times their own weight in exudate.
- EASY TO REMOVE – When used in a moderate to heavily exuding wound, the dressing forms a soft gel, which does not adhere to the delicate healing tissues in the wound bed. The dressing can be easily lifted out of the wound in one piece, or washed out with saline.
- CONFORMS TO WOUND CONTOURS – MarvellHealth Calcium Alginate Dressing is very soft and conformable, allowing it to be molded, folded or cut to meet a wide range of wound shapes and sizes. As the fibers gel, an even more intimate contact with the wound is produced and maintained.
- LESS FIBER SHED – All fiber based alginates release fibers when handled, however the advanced bonding technique employed in MarvellHealth Calcium Alginate Dressing greatly reduces this.
- MOIST WOUND ENVIRONMENT – The production of a gel by the action of exudate on the alginate fibers creates a moist wound environment at the wound surface. This helps prevent eschar formation and promotes an optimal moist wound environment. The dressing allows wound contraction to occur, which may help reduce scarring and also allows gaseous exchange necessary for a healthy wound bed.
- HIGHLY ABSORBENT – In-vitro studies have shown that MarvellHealth Calcium Alginate Dressing can absorb up to 20 times its own weight in exudate. This allows the dressing to remain in the wound for up to 7 days, depending on the nature of the wound and the volume of exudate.
- STERILE – MarvellHealth Calcium Alginate Dressing is STERILE for safe use.
