Simpurity Alginate Wound Dressings

When a wound is moderately to heavily draining, the wrong dressing either dries out and sticks or floods and macerates the surrounding skin. Simpurity alginate dressings from Safe N Simple are built for exactly this problem: made from calcium alginate derived from seaweed, they absorb many times their own weight in exudate and transform into a soft gel that keeps the wound bed moist while protecting the edges.

This collection covers the shapes and sizes clinicians reach for across venous ulcers, pressure injuries, diabetic wounds, surgical sites, and tunneling or cavity wounds:

• 2 x 2 inch squares (SNS50702) for smaller, focused wounds where minimal trimming is wanted.
• 4 x 4 inch (SNS50704) and 4 x 5 inch (SNS50720) rectangles for broader draining areas.
• 4 x 8 inch (SNS50732) when a larger surface needs full coverage.
• 12 x 1 inch rope (SNS50712), with soft fibers and strong wet strength, for packing deep, undermined, or tunneling wounds where the dressing must be removed intact.

All Simpurity alginate dressings are sterile, white, and highly absorbent, with a working pH in the 5.0 to 7.5 range that supports a healthy healing environment. A common question buyers ask is how often to change them: alginates are typically changed when strike-through appears or the dressing has fully gelled — often every one to three days depending on drainage — and they should be covered with a secondary dressing to hold them in place. They're intended for exuding wounds, not dry ones, since they need moisture to gel and lift away cleanly.
