Calcium Alginate Dressings
Calcium Alginate Dressing Construction

  • 100 gsm ( grams /square meter) of calcium alginate bonded through a metallic silver plated nylon mesh core.
Double Duty Performance — With a Bonus

  • The high gsm provides extra absorbency and exudate management.
  • The metallic silver mesh core provides up to 7 days of antimicrobial protection.
  • The durable mesh core ensures the dressing high integrity tensile strength, that can be easily cut to fit without falling apart, for assured one piece removal.

Silverlon™ CA Advanced Antimicrobial Alginate Wound Dressing, is a sterile, non-woven pad composed of a High M (manuronic acid) alginate and a silver nylon contact layer. The silver ions provide an antimicrobial barrier which protects the dressing from bacterial contamination. The wound dressing absorbs exudates, maintains a moist wound environment and allows for intact removal.
