- Condition: Factory New
- Weight: 2.85 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.
