3M 90220 - 3M TEGADERM HG (High Gelling) Alginate Dressing, 12" Rope, Bx/5., Bx/5

The 3M Tegaderm High Gelling Alginate Dressing is a sterile wound care solution designed to help you manage moderately to heavily draining wounds with confidence at home. This highly absorbent calcium alginate rope dressing measures 12 inches in length, making it ideal for packing deeper wounds or tunneling areas where drainage needs to be effectively managed. Each box contains five individually wrapped sterile dressings to support your ongoing wound care needs. What makes this high gelling alginate dressing special is how it works with your body's natural healing process. When the soft, flexible rope comes into contact with wound fluid, it transforms into a gentle gel-like mass that keeps the wound environment moist, which supports healthy tissue repair. This gel formation helps absorb significant amounts of drainage while remaining comfortable against your skin. The 3M Tegaderm High Gelling formula is designed to completely gel when saturated, allowing for easy and gentle removal during dressing changes with simple irrigation, minimizing discomfort to delicate healing tissue. This primary wound dressing is suitable for managing pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-surgical wounds, cuts, abrasions, and first or second degree burns. The highly conformable design adapts to irregular wound shapes, and it works well when covered with a secondary dressing to protect the wound site. For caregivers managing wound care at home, this trusted 3M product offers dependable absorption, ease of use during dressing changes, and the quality you expect from a recognized medical brand. Always use under the guidance of your healthcare provider.
