Derma Sciences 88100 - ALGICELL Sterile Calcium Alginate Rope, 3/4" x 36", Box of 12, BX 12

The ALGICELL Calcium Alginate Rope by Derma Sciences is a sterile wound dressing designed to help manage moderate to heavily draining wounds at home with gentle, effective care. This soft, white absorbent rope measures three-quarters of an inch by 36 inches and is ideal for packing deeper wounds or filling dead space to promote proper healing. Each box contains 12 individually sterile dressings, making it convenient for ongoing wound care needs. The calcium alginate material absorbs large amounts of wound drainage and may help control minor bleeding, giving you confidence during the healing process. When the rope comes into contact with wound fluid, it transforms into a soft gel that maintains a moist wound environment, which is conducive to healing. This gentle gel formation means the dressing stays intact and allows for easy, trauma-free removal when it's time to change it. ALGICELL dressings are made from a proprietary blend of gluconic and manuronic acids, offering optimal gelling performance for effective wound management. Because this is a primary dressing, you'll need to cover it with a secondary dressing to hold it in place and protect the wound from outside contaminants. The ALGICELL rope does not contain natural rubber latex, making it suitable for those with latex sensitivities. Whether you're caring for a surgical wound, pressure injury, or other wound that requires packing, this trusted Derma Sciences product provides reliable, comfortable support for healing at home.
