Abena’s Calcium Alginate Dressing is made of natural fibers derived from seaweed. It is designed to be highly absorbent. Alginates absorb wound exudate and form a gel-like covering over the wound, helping to maintain a moist wound healing environment, promote the healing process, and minimize bleeding. The gel-like surface helps keep the dressing from adhering to the wound.
Carefully clean the wound and its surrounding area with sterile water or saline solution and dry the surrounding skin gently.
Select the right size of dressing for the wound area. Carefully open the sterile pouch to remove the dressing inside.
