Smith & Nephew's AlgiSite M Calcium Alginate Dressing is an advanced wound care solution specifically designed to manage moderate to highly exuding wounds. Its unique formulation creates a moist wound environment that promotes healing, prevents eschar formation, and provides exceptional absorption. The dressing can absorb up to 13 times its weight in exudate, allowing for extended wear time and reducing the frequency of dressing changes. Its soft and conformable nature ensures comfort and protection, while its non-adhesive design facilitates painless removal. The AlgiSite M Calcium Alginate Dressing is suitable for various wound types, including pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical wounds, and its versatility and effectiveness make it an ideal choice for optimizing wound management and promoting faster healing.

• 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
• Absorbs 13 times its own weight in exudate, which 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
• Very soft and conformable, allowing it to be molded, folded or cut to meet a wide range of wound shapes and sizes
• When used in a moderate to highly 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
• Non-Adhesive
• All fiber based alginates release fibers when handled, however the advanced bonding technique employed in Algisite M greatly reduces this
