ALGINATE MELGISORB AG 4X4 EA [10/BX]

MOLNLYCKE Alginate Melgisorb AG is a 4 inch x 4 inch highly absorbent antimicrobial alginate dressing. Melgisorb AG is indicated for the management of moderate to heavily exudating partial to full thickness wounds. This product can also be used under compression bandages. As the product contains alginate, it may assist in supporting the control of minor bleeding in superficial wounds. Melgisorb AG may be used in the management of infected wounds or wounds in which there is an increased risk of infection under the medical supervision of a healthcare professional. Melgisorb Ag is indicated for external use only. Melgisorb AG can remain on wound up to 7 days. Dressing change frequency will depend on wound condition and the level of exudate. Initially it may be necessary to change the dressing every 24 hours. If the wound appears dry, saturate the dressing with sterile saline solution prior to removal. Gently remove the dressing from the wound bed. Irrigate the wound site in accordance with standard protocols prior to application of a new dressing. The dressing may adhere if used on dry or very lightly exudating wounds. The dressing performance may be impaired by excess use of petroleum-based ointments. This dressing is sold individually; order 10 each for a box quantity.
