MedVance® Alginate [1]

MedVance® Alginate is rich in mannuronic acid. Non-woven flat pad is for exuding wounds, and rope is for packing the cavities. Soft, hydrophilic gel is rapidly produced when in contact with wound exudate, which conforms to the contours of the wound and provides a moist wound healing environment.
