Medical Wound Care Silver Calcium Antimicrobial Alginate Dressing for Foot Ulcer

Silver calcium alginate dressing is a calcium alginate wound dressing with antibacterial silver, composed of calcium alginate, sodium alginate, and silver particles. Made of natural fibers derived from seaweed, it is designed to be highly absorbent. The dressing absorbs exudate and forms a gel-like surface over the wound that supports a moist wound healing environment and keeps the dressing from adhering to the wound.

It can restrain bacterial growth within the dressing for 24 hours and is effective against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
