Kendall™ Alginate Hydrocolloid Dressings are designed to create and maintain an optimal moist wound healing environment. Alginate formulation provides superior absorptive capacity and maintains its integrity. Available with a foam adhesive border. Wear time up to seven days.
• Alginate formulation provides greater absorbency resulting in fewer dressing changes
• Thin profile allows for better conformability and reduces chance of roll-up
• Occlusive dressing maintains moist wound healing environment
• Reinforced integrity helps reduce dressing change frequency
• Convenient packaging opens easily for sterile presentation
• Thin profile reduces chance of melt-down into wound site
