Gentell Calcium Alginate Dressing is a sterile, soft, and comfortable advanced wound dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Made from natural alginate fibers, this dressing absorbs and retains large amounts of exudate up to 20 times its weight while maintaining a moist environment that supports faster and more effective wound healing. When in contact with wound exudate, the calcium in the dressing reacts with the sodium in the wound fluid to form a soothing gel-like layer that protects the wound and ensures easy, pain-free dressing changes.

Features & Benefits

• Superior Absorption: Uniformly absorbs and contains up to 20 times its weight in wound exudate, keeping the wound area clean and balanced.
• Moist Healing Environment: Forms a gentle gel upon contact with wound exudate, promoting an optimal healing atmosphere.
• Conformable Design: Can be molded or folded to fit the shape and depth of various wound types.
• Atraumatic Removal: Non-adherent gel ensures easy removal without damaging new tissue or causing pain.
• Sterile and Comfortable: Designed for sensitive skin and extended wear, supporting patient comfort and confidence in care.

Use and Application

The soft alginate fibers adapt to irregular wound contours and convert to a gel upon contact with fluid, helping to maintain ideal healing conditions while minimizing trauma during dressing changes.
