Maxorb Extra Ag+ CMC Alginate Dressings, 1" x 12"

Alginate Dressing is highly absorbent, non-woven pad composed of a high guluronic acid calcium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose and ionic silver. Exposure to wound exudate dissolves the silver and stimulates the release of silver ions, creating a controlled-release antimicrobial effect.
