🔍 Product Overview
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, E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
🚀 Product Performance
✔ Mixture of natural seaweed and calcium ion with good histocompatibility.
✔ Gel forms upon contact with exudates to protect skin and accelerate healing.
✔ High absorbency, soft and comfortable to the skin.
✔ Calcium ion release activates prothrombin to accelerate cruor.
✔ Non-adherent to wounds, reducing pain during removal.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does the silver ion in the dressing work?
The silver ions are released into the wound exudate, providing effective antimicrobial protection against a broad spectrum of microorganisms for up to 7 days.
Q2: Is this dressing suitable for dry wounds?
No, Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing is specifically designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. For dry wounds, other dressings like hydrocolloids are recommended.
Q3: Does the dressing stick to the wound?
No. Upon contact with exudate, the alginate forms a soft gel that prevents the dressing from adhering to the wound, allowing for painless removal.
Q4: Can the size and packaging be customized?
Yes, we support OEM/ODM services where the product size and the packaging logo can be customized to meet specific requirements.
Q5: What certifications do these medical dressings have?
The products are quality-certified with FDA 510K, CE, ISO9001, and ISO13485 approvals.
Q6: How often should the dressing be changed?
Initially, it may need to be changed every 24 hours. As the exudate reduces, the frequency can be decreased based on the patient's condition.
