Melgisorb Plus Calcium Sodium Alginate Dressing

How Melgisorb Plus works

Melgisorb Plus absorbs large amounts of wound exudate.
When absorbing, the alginate fibers become gel-like providing a moist environment conducive to wound healing. The dressing can easily be removed by irrigating with 0.9% normal saline.

Benefits of Melgisorb Plus

• Highly absorbent
• Does not adhere to the wound site when gelled
• Conformable
• Can be cut to shape

Wear time: Change Melgisorb Plus dressing when saturation is reached. Melgisorb Plus can be left in place for several days depending on wound condition or as indicated by clinical practice.
