Product Overview
McKesson Silver Alginate Dressing 2 x 2 Inch Square Sterile
The McKesson Silver Alginate Dressing is a sterile wound care dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds while providing antimicrobial protection. Infused with ionic silver, this alginate dressing helps reduce bacterial colonization and supports a clean wound environment. The soft, non-woven alginate fibers form a gel upon contact with wound exudate, maintaining a moist healing environment and promoting autolytic debridement.
Key Features:
- Silver-Infused Alginate: Provides antimicrobial action to help minimize infection risk.
- Highly Absorbent: Effectively manages moderate to heavy exudate by forming a protective gel.
- Non-Adherent: Minimizes trauma during dressing changes and protects fragile tissue.
- Sterile & Ready-to-Use: Pre-packaged for single-use convenience and infection control.
- Convenient Size: 2 x 2-inch square for easy application on smaller wounds or cavity filling.
Specifications:
- Material: Sodium alginate with ionic silver
- Size: 2 x 2 inches (5 x 5 cm)
- Sterility: Individually sterile-packed
- Quantity: Single dressing per package (bulk options may vary)
- Latex-Free: Safe for patients with latex sensitivities
Suggested Use:
Ideal for partial- and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and surgical wounds with moderate to heavy drainage. Apply directly to the wound bed, ensuring full contact. Cover with a secondary dressing if needed. Change when saturated or as per clinical assessment.
For optimal results, cleanse the wound before application and monitor for signs of healing or infection. Consult a healthcare professional for specific wound care guidance.
