Restore Calcium Alginate Dressing 12? Rope is an absorbent rope that contains sodium and calcium fibers derived from seaweed. Rope dressings are used for packing wounds and absorbing fluids which promotes healing. This highly absorptive rope is 12? long and sterile to prevent infection. The dressing is applied to the wound while dry. As the calcium alginate dressing comes into contact with exudates and fluids, it forms a gel that protects the wound from drying out, conforms to the size of the wound, and creates a barrier against harmful bacteria. Keeping the wound moist encourages new skin growth during the healing process by ensuring the area stays clean and moist. Additional features of the Restore Calcium Alginate Dressing include superior wet strength and minor bleeding control. The rope dressing is easy to use because it stays strong when wet. During removal, the dressing will stay in one intact piece. To stop the bleeding in superficial wounds, the alginate binds and molds to the body. Restore Alginate Dressings are ideal for wounds with a moderate to heavy amount of fluids. It can be used under compression bandages for post-operative wounds and 1st and 2nd degree burns.
