Choosing the right size comes down to wound dimensions and drainage volume. The Supreme AG Silver Calcium Alginate 2" x 2" (MP00842) suits smaller wounds, sinus packing, and localized areas, while the Supreme AG 4" x 5" (MP00840) covers broader surfaces such as sacral pressure injuries or larger surgical sites. As a rule, the dressing should slightly overlap the wound margins onto intact skin, and heavier exudate calls for the larger format to extend wear time between changes.

These dressings are intended for use under a secondary cover dressing and are typically changed every one to three days depending on saturation and clinical protocol. Facilities and home health providers stocking silver antimicrobial alginates alongside standard alginates and foams can match dressing selection to the wound's stage and drainage as it evolves.

Note that "Supreme" is also a brand name used across other product areas — if you're looking for gloves, browse Sempermed Supreme instead.
