Suprasorb A Calcium Alginate Dressing

Suprasorb A is ideal for the care of heavily exuding, superficial or deep wounds. A highly absorbent wound dressing, Suprasorb A is made from calcium alginate derived from natural brown seaweed. The soft dressing conforms easily to any wound base, it even fills deep wounds.

Suprasorb A absorbs large volumes of exudate by gel formation which creates a moist wound environment.
