That gel maintains the warm, humid environment shown to support autolytic debridement and healing, while its high absorbency draws off drainage that would otherwise macerate the surrounding skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow AlgiSite M works on draining wounds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fibers absorb many times their own weight in fluid and gel quickly at the wound bed, so the dressing stays in place rather than shifting. Because it forms a cohesive gel, AlgiSite M lifts away at dressing changes with minimal trauma and less pain than dry dressings that adhere to the tissue. It is well suited to moderately-to-heavily exuding wounds: pressure ulcers, leg and diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, cavity wounds, and bleeding surface wounds where the alginate's hemostatic properties are an added benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right size and format\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery AlgiSite M dressing we stock is sterile and white, and the range covers the shapes real wounds demand:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 x 2 inch square (59480100)\u003c\/strong\u003e — small ulcers and localized wounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 x 4 inch (59480200)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the everyday workhorse for moderate flat wounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 x 8 inch rectangle (59480300)\u003c\/strong\u003e — larger surface areas and sacral pressure injuries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.75 x 12 inch rope (59480400)\u003c\/strong\u003e — packing sinuses, tunnels, and cavity wounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the dressing loosely to the wound size, cover with a secondary dressing or retention layer to hold moisture in, and change based on strike-through — typically as exudate slows.
