Melgisorb Plus Alginate Dressing 5 x 5cm
Melgisorb Plus 5 x 5cm is a soft, highly absorbent alginate dressing from Molnlycke designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Each sterile pad is made from calcium sodium alginate fibres that create a gel on contact with wound fluid or saline. Once gelled, the dressing does not adhere to the wound site, supporting comfortable removal at dressing changes. Melgisorb Plus absorbs and retains wound exudate and has haemostatic ability. The 5 x 5cm size is suited for smaller wound sites and can be cut to shape if needed. Each box contains 10 individually packaged sterile dressings.
