- Condition: Factory New
- Weight: 2.24 lb
- Easy to remove: When used in a moderate to highly exuding wound, the dressing forms a soft gel, which does not adhere to the delicate healing tissues in the wound bed.
- Conforms to wound contours: Algisite M is very soft and conformable, allowing it to be molded, folded or cut to meet a wide range of wound shapes and sizes.
- As the fibers gel, an even more intimate contact with the wound is produced and maintained.
- Less fiber shed: All fiber-based alginates release fibers when handled, however the advanced bonding technique employed in Algisite M greatly reduces this.

Frequently asked questions
How does this wound dressing provide effective healing?
The Smith & Nephew ALGISITE M dressing is highly effective because it uses Calcium Alginate technology to facilitate moist wound management.
Key mechanisms of effectiveness include:
- Gel Formation: When the dressing comes into contact with wound exudate, it rapidly transforms into a soft, cohesive gel.
- Optimal Environment: This gelling action maintains the essential moist wound bed environment, which supports natural healing processes.
- High Absorption: It is designed to handle moderate to highly exuding wounds by effectively absorbing and managing fluid.
Is this ideal for highly exuding wounds?
Yes, the Smith & Nephew ALGISITE M Calcium Alginate Dressing is specifically designed for the effective management of moderate to highly exuding wounds.
This dressing works by promoting moist wound management, which is essential for healing. When wound exudate is absorbed, the calcium alginate transforms into a soft, cohesive gel. This gelling action provides:
- High Absorption Capability: Efficiently manages substantial fluid levels.
- Optimal Healing Environment: Maintains the necessary moisture level in the wound bed to support the natural healing process.
Is high-quality Calcium Alginate used?
Yes, the Smith & Nephew ALGISITE M is specifically composed of Calcium Alginate Dressing and is designed to support advanced wound care principles.
Key features of this material include:
- Moist Wound Management: Upon contact with wound exudate, the calcium alginate forms a soft, cohesive gel. This gelling action is crucial for maintaining an optimal moist healing environment.
- High Absorption: The dressing is highly absorptive, making it particularly effective for managing moderate to highly exuding wounds.
