AlgiSite M Calcium Alginate Dressing AlgiSite M is a calcium alginate dressing that forms a soft gel that is absorbed when in contact with wound exudate. Algisite M helps utilize the proven benefits of moist wound management. For over-the-counter applications, AlgiSite M can be used for the treatment of minor conditions such as: Lacerations Abrasions Skin tears Minor burns Under the care of a healthcare professional, AlgiSite M can be used for the treatment of full thickness wounds and partial, including: Leg ulcers Pressure ulcers Diabetic foot ulcers Surgical wounds Secure packing in cavities, sinuses, etc. has been deleted. The dressing may stick if used on wounds that ooze very lightly. If the dressing does not come off easily, moisten it with saline solution, then remove it. Do not use in patients with a known allergy to alginates. Easy to remove Conforms to wound contours Rapid gelling, high mannuronic acid fibers fiber shedding Low wet and dry strength Benefits of AlgiSite M Calcium Alginate Dressing Easy to remove: When used on a moderate to moderate wound Highly exuding, the dressing forms a soft gel, which does not adhere to the delicate healing tissues in the wound bed. The dressing can be easily removed from the wound in one piece or washed with saline solution. Conforms to wound contours: Algisite M is very soft and conformable, allowing it to be shaped, bent or cut to meet a wide range of wound shapes and sizes. As the fibers gel, even more intimate contact with the wound is produced and maintained. Less fiber shedding: All fiber based alginates release fibers when handled, however the advanced bonding technique employed in Algisite M greatly reduces this. Moist wound environment: The production of a gel by the action of exudate on alginate fibers creates a moist wound environment at the wound surface. This helps prevent ice formation and promotes an optimal moist wound environment. The dressing allows wound contraction to occur, which may help reduce
