Description

Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing McKesson 6 X 6 Inch Square Sterile (Case of 50)

Sold by: Case
Contents: 50 total units (10 boxes of 5)
Indicated for moderately to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds, infected or at risk of infection, and can act as a haemostat to control minor bleeding in superficial wounds
May be used during the healing process on decubitus ulcers (pressure ulcers), venous and arterial leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, graft and donor sites, post-operative surgical wounds, superficial and partial thickness burns, and cavity wounds
Sterile, non-woven material composed of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and a high G (guluronic acid) calcium alginate
Highly absorbent to manage moderate- to high-exuding wounds and create a favorable environment for effective wound management
High gelling action promotes fast healing through a moist wound environment
Soft, conformable, non-woven sheet transforms into clear, soft, cohesive gel when in contact with wound exudate to maintain a moist wound environment, which assists in the wound healing process and aids autolytic debridement
Excellent wet and dry strength
Unique quilting pattern aids with absorbency, tensile performance, intimate wound bed contact
CMC-based material features quilting pattern design enhanced with hidden reinforcement layer for improved wet integrity and superior tensile perfomance allowing the clinician the confidence that the dressing remain intact when removed during dressing change
Low lateral wicking performance minimizes risk of excoriation and maceration of wound and peri-wound skin
Innovative combination of two proven wound care technologies based on CMC and alginate fibers
Uniquely design developed to provide all the benefits of an alginate dressing whilst also offering a high wet strength and clear gelling properties, to ensure a maintained moist wound environment
Calcium ions present within the alginate fibers of the dressing exchange with sodium ions found in the wound exudate
Donation of calcium benefits the wound by stimulating cytokines essential to the wound healing process
Vertically absorbs exudate into the dressing reducing the risk of maceration and damage to the peri wound skin
Square sheet design measures 6 x 6 inches (15.2 cm x 15.2 cm)
Individually packaged for single sterile use
Not Made with Natural Rubber Latex
Packaged: 1 Each, 5 Each Per Box, 10 Boxes Per Case

Frequently asked questions

Does this dressing leave residue when removed?

No, this dressing features a unique quilting pattern and a hidden reinforcement layer, ensuring it remains cohesive and intact for easy removal in one piece without shredding.

Is this dressing safe for those with latex allergies?

Yes, the McKesson Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for individuals with latex sensitivities.

How does this dressing support faster healing?

It uses an advanced blend of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and calcium alginate. Upon contact with wound fluid, it creates a moist gel environment that stimulates cytokine activity and supports natural autolytic debridement.

Will this cause skin irritation around the wound?

The dressing is specifically engineered for vertical fluid absorption. This prevents lateral wicking, which significantly minimizes the risk of peri-wound skin maceration and irritation.

Do I need a secondary dressing with this?

Yes, this product is designed to function as a primary dressing. It is intended to be used in conjunction with an appropriate secondary cover dressing to keep it in place.

Can I use this for surgical wounds?

Yes, this dressing is highly versatile and suitable for a variety of acute and chronic wounds, including surgical wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and partial-thickness burns.

Can this help stop minor bleeding?

Yes, in addition to its primary use as an absorbent gelling dressing, it can also act as a haemostat for minor bleeding.

Is the material durable when wet?

It is designed with high wet and dry strength. The reinforced construction ensures the dressing holds its shape even when fully saturated with exudate.

Is this suitable for heavily exuding wounds?

Absolutely. It is specifically designed for the management of moderately to heavily exuding wounds due to its high absorbency and gelling technology.

Is each sheet individually wrapped?

Yes, each unit consists of one individually packaged sterile dressing sheet to maintain clinical sterility.
