Hartmann Usa, Inc. Hartmann Usa Sorbalgon Calcium Alginate Dressing

The number of dressings included in a box of Sorbalgon Calcium Alginate Dressing varies by size and type. Boxes are available with either 5 or 10 dressings per box.

Yes, many of the standard configurations of the Sorbalgon Calcium Alginate Dressing are supplied sterile. The variants explicitly labeled as sterile include the 2” x 2”, 4” x 4”, and 4” x 8” pad sizes.

Yes, Sorbalgon Calcium Alginate Dressing is proudly made in the US.

The Sorbalgon Calcium Alginate Dressing is engineered for advanced wound management, particularly suitable for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. Its impressive absorbency capacity is a key feature:

• High Absorption Rate: The dressing is capable of absorbing more than 14 times its own weight in wound exudate, ensuring effective fluid management.
• Hydrophilic Gel Formation: Upon absorbing fluid, it quickly transforms into a soft, hydrophilic gel that gently protects the wound bed and maintains an optimal moist healing environment.
• Superior Structural Integrity: A major benefit is that the dressing holds its form, even when fully saturated. This structural stability facilitates easy removal, often in one piece, which helps minimize disturbance to the healing tissue.

Yes, the Sorbalgon® Calcium Alginate Dressing is latex-free, making it suitable for individuals with latex sensitivities.

Yes, maintaining structural integrity is a primary benefit of the Hartmann Sorbalgon Calcium Alginate Dressing.

Unlike some other alginates that may dissolve upon saturation, this dressing is designed to hold together wet or dry.

This key feature ensures:

• Simplified Removal: The dressing maintains its form even when saturated with wound exudate.
• Cleaner Process: It can often be removed quickly and easily in a single piece, preventing residue in the wound bed.

Yes, the Hartmann Usa Sorbalgon Calcium Alginate Dressing provides superior fluid management, making it ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate.

• High Absorption Rate: The dressing is engineered to absorb more than 14 times its own weight in wound fluid.
• Protective Gel Layer: Upon absorbing exudate, it rapidly transforms into a soft, hydrophilic gel, which protects and covers the wound bed.
• Cohesive Structure: Unlike some dissolving alginates, this dressing maintains its structural integrity whether wet or dry. This allows for easier, generally one-piece removal, minimizing disruption to the healing tissue.

The dressing is also latex free.

Yes, the Sorbalgon Calcium Alginate Dressing is specifically designed for simplified and easier removal compared to many other dissolving alginate products.

Its key benefit is its form retention and structural integrity, meaning it holds its shape whether wet or dry. This feature significantly simplifies the removal process:

• Single-Piece Removal: The dressing often lifts off cleanly in one piece, preventing residual fragments from remaining in the wound bed.
• Gentle Protection: Upon contact with fluid, it rapidly forms a protective hydrophilic gel that covers the wound bed, which also contributes to a gentle, atraumatic removal process.

Yes, the Hartmann Sorbalgon dressing is primarily composed of Calcium Alginate. This highly absorbent material is essential for effective advanced wound management and provides several key benefits:

• Exceptional Absorbency: It can absorb over 14 times its own weight in wound exudate, making it suitable for heavily draining wounds.
• Hydrophilic Gel: The alginate quickly forms a soft, protective gel layer upon contact with wound fluid, which helps protect the wound bed.
• Easy Removal: Unlike many dissolving alginates, this product maintains its structural integrity when wet or dry, allowing for easy, one-piece removal.

The Hartmann Sorbalgon Calcium Alginate Dressing protects the wound and supports the healing process through several key features:

• Protective Hydrophilic Gel: Upon contact with wound fluid (exudate), the dressing quickly forms a soft, protective, hydrophilic gel. This gel gently covers and shields the wound bed, maintaining the continuously moist environment necessary for optimal healing.
• Superior Exudate Management: The calcium alginate material provides high absorbency, capable of holding more than 14 times its own weight in fluid. This effective fluid management prevents excess moisture and helps minimize the risk of maceration.
• Easy, Atraumatic Removal: A distinct advantage of Sorbalgon is its superior structural integrity. It holds its form even when wet, which facilitates easier removal, often in a single piece, minimizing disturbance and trauma to the delicate healing tissue.
