Alginates

CelluHeal Calcium Alginate Dressing is a natural made from seaweed-derived alginates, designed to support faster healing of wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. Once applied, the calcium alginate fibers react with wound fluid to form a soft, moist gel, which promotes optimal healing and ensures pain-free dressing changes. This dressing is ideal for chronic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, burn wounds, and surgical incisions.
