Vitale STRONG Calcium Alginate Dressings are designed to provide maximum absorption and long-lasting wound protection. Engineered for moderate to heavily exuding wounds, these dressings transform fluid into a soft gel that locks in moisture while protecting the surrounding skin from maceration. With up to 7-day wear, painless removal, and superior conformability, they deliver trusted wound care for both clinical and home use.
Features & Benefits:
- Highly Absorbent: Effectively absorbs wound exudate, forming a gel that promotes optimal moist healing conditions.
- Non-Adherent: Gel covering prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound bed, ensuring painless removal and minimizing trauma.
- Reduces Maceration: Protects surrounding skin by locking in excess fluid and preventing moisture damage.
- Flexible & Conformable: Soft fibers adapt to various wound shapes, including cavity and tunneled wounds.
- Extended Wear Time: Superior absorption allows less frequent dressing changes, saving time and improving patient comfort.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, and more.
How To Apply
- Clean and rinse the wound in the usual manner.
- (Dressings) Place the Vitále STRONG Calcium Alginate Dressing on the moist wound. If necessary, fold or cut to adjust to wound size.
- (Ropes) Coil the rope gently into cavity wounds, leaving an end or "tail" for easy extraction.
- Secure dressing with waterproof semi-occlusive cover dressing.
- Change dressing as directed, when strike-through occurs, or at least every 7 days.
- When changing dressing, remove dressing retention and gently remove gel formed of dressing & exudate. If any portion of the dressing is dry, flush with saline to make the entire dressing moist before removing.
