Benefits

• Helps absorb moderate to heavy amounts of wound exudate and may help control minor bleeding
• Can be used to fill or pack the dead space in a wound
• Optimal gelling profile allows dressing to avoid sticking to the wound bed and helps maintain physical integrity to allow removal from the wound in one piece
• Highly absorptive, non-occlusive
• May be trimmed to fit wound dimensions

Indications

McKesson Calcium Alginate with Antimicrobial Silver Sheet Dressing is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration in moderately to heavily exuding wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, pressure injuries, partial- and full-thickness wounds, donor sites, and traumatic and surgical wounds.

Contraindications

Not for use on third-degree burns, patients with a known sensitivity to alginates or silver, and controlling heavy bleeding. Should not be used with products that create an ionic exchange in the wound site (ie, do not use with enzymatic debriding agents), but safe to use normal saline to cleanse the wound prior to dressing application.

Active Ingredients

Each dressing contains, by weight, 5% silver sodium hydrogen zirconium phosphate
