Product Overview
The Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing with Silver is a sterile, non-woven wound care product engineered for the management of moderate to heavily exuding partial- to full-thickness wounds. Composed of high-G guluronic acid calcium alginate fibers embedded with silver particles, this Calcium Alginate With Silver Medline dressing absorbs wound exudate and releases silver ions to help manage bioburden. Upon contact with fluid, the alginate forms a moist gel that supports optimal wound healing conditions and allows for atraumatic, intact removal. Suitable for both prescription and OTC channels, this dressing is a reliable choice for B2B medical procurement teams seeking a versatile, high-performance wound care solution.

Key Features
The Calcium Alginate With Silver Medline dressing combines absorptive performance with antimicrobial support in a single, easy-to-use product. Key features include:
- Silver ion release in the presence of exudate - Silver particles dispersed throughout the dressing matrix release ions when wound fluid is present, helping to manage microbial load in exuding wounds.
- High absorptive capacity (≥10.0 g/g) - The calcium alginate core absorbs significant amounts of exudate, helping to protect periwound skin from moisture-related damage.
- Gel-forming action for atraumatic removal - Contact with wound fluid transforms alginate fibers into a cohesive gel, maintaining a moist wound bed and allowing the dressing to be removed intact without disrupting healing tissue.
- Debriding action on slough - The gel-forming property helps loosen and absorb slough, supporting autolytic debridement in non-eschar wounds.
- Non-adherent to clean wound bed - The gel layer prevents adherence to granulation tissue, reducing pain and tissue trauma during dressing changes.
- Compatible with secondary dressings - Designed to be secured with an appropriate secondary dressing for stability and exudate management.
