Melgisorb® Ag is an antimicrobial alginate dressing made with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Its unique construction allows for high absorbency, high wet tensile strength with sustained antimicrobial efficacy. Melgisorb Ag is able to manage high volumes of exudate. The fibers forms a soft gel, which creates a moist environment and promotes wound healing. The high strength fibers also allow for one piece removal. Melgisorb Ag is indicated for the management of all moderate to heavily exuding partial to full thickness wounds including post-operative wounds, trauma wounds, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, graft and donor sites, cavity wounds and superficial and partial thickness burns. As Melgisorb Ag contains alginate, it may assist in supporting the control of minor bleeding in superficial wounds. This product can also be used under compression bandages. Melgisorb Ag is suitable for use on wounds that are critically colonized, under the medical supervision of a healthcare professional. Melgisorb Ag is indicated for external use only.
