Wound Care Kit #3 – 2 x 2 Calcium Alginate Dressing

Description

The Wound Care Kit #3 is meticulously assembled to support patients in their wound care regimen, particularly those dealing with pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, and other exudative wounds. By incorporating high-quality calcium alginate dressings, this kit aids in maintaining a moist wound environment, which is crucial for tissue regeneration and healing.

Kit Contents

• 30 Calcium Alginate Dressings (2″ x 2″): These dressings are derived from seaweed and are known for their high absorbency. They effectively manage wound exudate, forming a gel-like substance upon contact with wound fluid, which helps in maintaining a moist environment conducive to healing.

• 30 Bordered Gauze Dressings (4″ x 4″): Designed to secure the calcium alginate dressings in place, these bordered gauze dressings provide additional protection against external contaminants and help in absorbing any excess exudate.

• 1 Dermal Wound Cleanser Spray Bottle (8 oz): A gentle, non-irritating cleanser that aids in the removal of debris and contaminants from the wound area, preparing it for dressing application.

Key Features

• High Absorbency: Calcium alginate dressings are capable of absorbing moderate to heavy amounts of wound exudate, reducing the risk of maceration and promoting a conducive healing environment.

• Moist Wound Environment: The gel formation upon contact with wound exudate helps in maintaining a moist environment, which is essential for optimal wound healing and tissue regeneration.

• Non-Adherent Removal: The gel-like consistency ensures that the dressing does not adhere to the wound bed, allowing for painless removal and minimizing trauma to the healing tissue.

• Comprehensive Care: The inclusion of both primary and secondary dressings, along with a wound cleanser, ensures that patients have all necessary components for effective wound management at home.
